Using National Statistics to Increase Transparency of Large Land Acquisition : Evidence from Ethiopia
The 2007/08 commodity price boom triggered a ‘rush’ for land in developing countries. Yet, many affected countries lacked the regulatory infrastructure to cope with such demand and reliable data on investors’ performance. This study uses the exampl...

| description |
The 2007/08 commodity price boom
triggered a ‘rush’ for land in developing countries. Yet,
many affected countries lacked the regulatory infrastructure
to cope with such demand and reliable data on investors’
performance. This study uses the example of Ethiopia to show
how simple improvements in administrative data collection
can help to address this by (i) allowing assessment of the
productivity of land use and taking measures to increase it;
(ii) comparing productivity between large and small farms to
identify spillovers and ways to improve these; and (iii)
setting in motion a process of continuing improvement.
Implications for global investment in this area are drawn out. |
