520    "Agricultural input subsidies were a major feature of 
       development policies in rural economies until the 1980s. 
       Continuing rural poverty with low productivity and 
       fertilizer use in smallholder staple crops has led to 
       their resurgence in Africa. These subsidies are, however, 
       controversial with claims of both large food security 
       benefits and unsustainable, inefficient resource use. This
       book reviews current theory and evidence on the strengths 
       and weaknesses of these programmes and the effects of 
       programme context, design, and implementation. Theoretical
       arguments for agricultural subsidies are based on input 
       promotion where farmers' private costs (benefits) are 
       higher (lower) than wider economic costs (benefits). These
       arguments, and concerns about inefficiency and diversion, 
       are reviewed and extended to consider input affordability 
       constraints and 'smart' rationing and targeting. Recent 
       programmes in Africa have a variety of generally producer-
       focused objectives, with varied implementation and 
       programme outcomes. Most pay little attention to consumer 
       interests and potential contributions to wider growth. A 
       detailed examination of Malawi's controversial 
       agricultural input subsidy programme follows. Drawing on a
       wide range of information sources, the political and agro-
       economic contexts of the programme are examined, with 
       evidence on its implementation and impacts from 2005 to 
       2011. Positive impacts are recorded on beneficiaries' 
       production, incomes, food consumption, school enrolment, 
       child health, and reduced need for earnings from 
       undertaking casual labour for others. There is evidence of
       indirect economy-wide impacts, but this is not as strong 
       as might be expected. Targeting and graduation are 
       identified as critically important issues requiring 
       continuing attention."--Publisher's description.
