Tracing their contribution to the welfare and poverty impacts of improved varieties on smallholder farmers presents multiple challenges, as the germplasm is distributed to users globally and a crop improvement programme can take as long as 10 years to develop a new improved variety that can be released to farmers. We examine the relationship between genetic ancestry, development of improved groundnut varieties and poverty reduction among smallholder households in Malawi. First, we apportion the genetic ancestry and relative provenance of International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics genes of each variety and relate them to genebanks using pedigree data and expert interviews. We then leverage a three-wave household-level panel dataset with several estimation strategies, including panel and pseudo-panel fixed effect estimators, to examine the association between genetic ancestry, the adoption of improved groundnut varieties and household welfare. We establish a positive association between genetic ancestry and the development of improved groundnut varieties. We find a positive association between the adoption of improved groundnut varieties and household income, assets and livestock (wealth). Improved groundnut varieties are also negatively associated with poverty indices. Our findings lend support and credence to continued investments in global efforts to conserve and widely distribute diverse genetic materials for crop improvement.</p>","PeriodicalId":55427,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics","volume":"70 1","pages":"165-177"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1467-8489.70083","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146129929","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Various policies have been implemented in Vietnam to develop agricultural cooperatives. The climate-smart agriculture (CSA) approach is integral to the promotion of sustainable agriculture. However, whether cooperatives facilitate households' adoption of CSA technologies remains unclear. This study examines how paddy farms' participation in cooperatives affects their CSA adoption. We use propensity score matching (PSM) to assess the influence of cooperatives on the adoption of climate-smart agriculture. The study's key results suggest that participation in CSA training and location in coastal provinces positively influence engagement in cooperatives. In contrast, cooperative membership is negatively affected by farming plots and farmer association membership. PSM indicates that the role of cooperatives in advancing CSA adoption becomes significant when the intensity of technical support increases from 1.4 to 2.1 cropping seasons. Cooperative membership has heterogeneous effects across farm and household attributes. The effects are greater on farms with a production scale of < 2 ha, literate household heads and those that do not engage in off-farm activities. To enhance how cooperatives support farmers adopting CSA, they should focus on training classes and facilitate farmland accumulation.</p>\u0000 <p><b>JEL Classifications</b>: Q13, Q54</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":55427,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics","volume":"70 1","pages":"87-101"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146136857","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The effect was stronger in villages with lower human capital and those located near urban areas, indicating marked regional heterogeneity.
