Key Points

  • This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of precision agriculture technologies in enhancing maize yields in Zanzibar and Morocco over five years.
  • Comparative study design was employed to analyze technology adoption rates and yield improvements.
  • Quantitative metrics were collected to measure changes in maize yields among users and non-users.
  • Statistical model estimation was performed to evaluate performance through out-of-sample error.
  • In Morocco, farmers adopting precision agriculture technologies saw a mean increase of 15% in maize yields.
  • Zanzibar farmers experienced a 20% yield increase with significant regional variations.
  • The study highlights the effectiveness of tailored strategies for technology implementation based on geographical context.

Abstract

Precision agriculture technologies have been introduced in various regions to enhance maize production efficiency. A comparative study design was employed, incorporating quantitative metrics for technological adoption rates and yield improvements. In Morocco, a mean increase of 15% in maize yields was observed among farmers adopting precision agriculture technologies compared to non-users. In Zanzibar, this proportion reached 20%, with significant variation by region. The study underscores the effectiveness of precision agriculture in increasing maize yield and suggests tailored implementation strategies for different geographical contexts. Further research should focus on scaling up successful models and addressing socio-economic barriers to technology adoption. Precision Agriculture, Maize Production, Zanzibar, Morocco, Yield Improvement Model estimation used =argmin_ᵢ (yᵢ, f_ (xᵢ) ) +₂², with performance evaluated using out-of-sample error.
