| dc.description.abstract | The objective guiding this systematic literature review was to assess the role of market efficiency in spices production. The study reviewed 44 international publications from ScienceDirect published from 2010 to 2023 that address the effect of access to market information on spices production, guided by PRISMA 2020 framework. Results from this systematic review suggest that market effi ciency has a substantial influence on spice production; access to perfect market information has a significant and positive influence on spice production in ma jority of smallholder farmers. However, the impact of access to market infor mation has varying magnitude among producers depending on geographical location; in this regard, various types of producers require different considera tion with respect to this parameter. We therefore recommended dedicated sup port from relevant authorities to create a conducive infrastructure to enhance rapid access to market information by smallholder farmers. | |
