A Risk Responsive Acreage Response Function for Millet in Niger

Akinwumi A. Adesina and B Brorsen

Agricultural Economics, 1987, vol. 1, issue 3, 229-239

Abstract: In this paper the impact of price risk on millet production in Niger is investigated. The hypothesis that farmers respond to output price risk is tested. The results indicate that millet acreage planted decreased when millet price risk increased or when price risk of the competing crop decreased and therefore farmers do respond to changes in risk.
