What do Kenyan farmers want during economic crisis?
Using a BWS experiment we find:
-Market access ranks top
-Infrastructure & extension next
-Input subsidies is 5th
-Cash transfers last
Farmers favor long-term structural investments-even during crisis.

One man said, "Erasers are made for those who make mistakes."*
