Abstract
Key Findings -In two-thirds of villages, representatives did not report delays in receipt of subsidized fertilizer. -The overall quality of the fertilizer received was judged to be adequate in most villages (91%). -About half of the village representatives considered amounts received to be sufficient. -By far the largest category of plot manager who received subsidized fertilizer is the head of the EAF or designate. 87% of male plot managers received the subsidized fertilizer applied to their plot directly from the organizational source, as compared to 49% of female plot managers; another 50% of female plot managers it through the head of EAF or designate. -The fertilizer subsidy is more heavily utilized by farmers who are better-endowed in terms of equipment and traction.
