  2. Background to study area 3 locations, 12 sub-locations and covers an area of 197.1 km2 . The study locations are Gaturi North and Ngandori . Kianjuki and Kavutiri extension units are in Gaturi North, while Mukangu and Manyatta are in Ngandori location. The major zones are UM1 and UM2. UM1 is the coffee – tea zone.

  6. Tracing households 99 out of 113 households intereviewed in the baseline survey of 1998 were identified. Out of the 99 households identified, one migrated to a different location from the study area reducing the number of households traced to 98. This gives a sample attrition rate of 13.3%.

  7. Tracing household…..cont’d The 14 housholds that were not identified in Manyatta and Kianjuki extension units were replaced. In Kianjuki 11 households were replaced including 2 supplemental households while in Manyatta extension unit 4 households were replaced including 2 supplemental households. In Mukangu and Kavitiri extension units only supplemental households were added to the list of farmers to be interviewed.
