dc.description.abstractThis study applied the framework of cost benefit analysis to both tobacco and bamboo. Results showed that bamboo farming is financially and economically beneficial to tobacco farmers. Bamboo is amenable to intercropping in the first two years and restores degraded areas from tobacco growing. There are cumulative incremental benefits. However, tobacco has been considered more profitable because it has a guaranteed market where farmers receive complete reimbursement for produce at once. This study examined bamboo as a crop substitute for tobacco in four districts in South Nyanza, Kenya.en
