| Abstract:
Information on price variability and revenue generating potential of peppers is important to farmers to guide farm production and marketing decisions. These decisions are made in an environment of scarce resources and uncertainty. The results of this study reveal that various pepper commodities which generated significant revenues displayed moderate price variability. The analysis also shows that only 7% of the variation in cash receipts may be explained by variation in prices. | |
