Abstract:This paper presents results of six case studies of smallholder outgrower schemes in Kenya based on primary and secondary data. The studies were carried out in 1987 and 1988. They concerned sugarcane, sunflower, tobacco, tea, sweetcorn, and French beans. Basic description, performance and impact, and problems, constraints and prospects for a scheme are presented in each case study. None of the schemes examined was an unqualified success or without problems, constraints and prospects. Bibliogr., ref.
