Data were drawn from a random sample of farms for the purpose of gathering estimates of area of crops and production. The findings revealed that the plots managed by women yielded crops that were similar to the crops yielded on plots managed by men. It was concluded that the extension programs provided to agricultural households by the government and NGOs encouraged an increase in plot management by female farmers.
