Studies dealing with productivity in female(FHH) and male headed households (MHH) find thatFHH appear to be either less, equally, or moreproductive compared to MHH. Lower productivity ofFHH is often explained by insecure access to land, whilethe findings of higher productivity largely remainunexplained. This paper is an attempt to reconcile thesecontrasting findings by constructing a model thataccounts for productivity effects arising from secureland rights and the risk of falling short of income.

Smallholder Agriculture is key to livelihoods of many rural households in developing and transition economies. In Kenya, small farms account for over 75% of total agricultural production and nearly 50% of the marketed output. Despite favourable trends in global development drivers such as rising population, per capita incomes and emerging urban dietary preferences, most smallholder farmers remain poor.

This study determines the factors that influenced contract choice, labour demand and examines the existence of labour hoarding practice in Western region of Kenya. Data from Egerton University’s Tegemeo Institute of Agricultural Policy and Development was used for the analysis.. A two step Heckman model was employed to estimate the extent of engagement in daily and semi-permanent contracts conditional on choice of contract. Results from the study show that casual and semi-permanent contracts are substitutes.
