This study draws together information on the technology available to small-scale farmers in sub-Saharan Africa for the production of cotton, coffee and tea. It records the wide variation in the national average yields of these crops, as well as the differences in productivity that exist between smallholders and commercial powers in the same country. A recurring theme in the paper is that, unlike food crops, which have to be produced for survival irrespective of government interventions, yields of these cash crops are heavily dependent upon government policies and management capacity.
