This presentation, delivered by Dr. Joshua Ariga at the International Workshop on Developing Private Sector Agro-Input Markets, discusses the economic rationale for implementing fertilizer quality regulations in Africa. Dr. Ariga represents the Partnership for Enabling Market Environments for Fertilizer in Africa (PEMEFA), a consortium of five partner organizations dedicated to transforming African agriculture by improving smallholder farmers' access to and use of fertilizers.
