New Rice for Africa (NERICA) was introduced in Uganda as one of poverty alleviation programs by providing potential cash crops to rural households. Within 2 years, the early adopters stopped growing NERICA, while the others started growing it. It is found that the adoption and dropout of NERICA rice variety is determined by opportunity costs and risk faced by households.}, pages = {1--28}, title = {New Technology and Emergence of Markets: Evidence from NERICA rice in Uganda}, year = {2008} }
