The relations between farmers' land tenure security and agriculture production. An assessment in the perspective of smallholder farmers in Rwanda

Uwacu Alban Singirankabo et al.

Summary: This article empirically assesses the relations between land tenure security and smallholder farms' crop production in Rwanda based on a data set from four research sites over the course of three agricultural years. The findings indicate that there is no statistical correlation between land tenure security and crop harvests. Factors related to the ongoing crop intensification program contribute more to the increase in small farm harvests. Lower land tenure security does not affect farmers' satisfaction with the crop program.
