About AgriImpactSuite

AgriImpactSuite, with its integrated suite of adoption, economic surplus, risk reduction, and poverty alleviation calculators, offers a versatile platform tailored to the needs of diverse decision makers in the agricultural innovation ecosystem.

For technology generators, it provides a scientifically robust means to demonstrate the potential economic returns, stability benefits, and farmer-level adoption prospects of newly developed crop varieties, thereby strengthening the case for research investments.

Donor agencies can leverage its transparent and evidence-based framework to evaluate the cost-effectiveness, developmental impact, and scalability of funded interventions, ensuring accountability and strategic allocation of resources.

For governments, the tool delivers comprehensive, policy-relevant insights into the broader economic and social worth of agricultural technologies, particularly their role in enhancing resilience, reducing vulnerability, and lifting households out of poverty.

By consolidating complex economic assessments into an accessible and user-friendly interface, AgriImpactSuite equips stakeholders with actionable intelligence to design, fund, and implement transformative agricultural solutions.

AgriImpactSuite Modules

Explore the suite of calculators in AIS to evaluate adoption rates, economic surplus, risk reduction, and poverty impact of agricultural technologies.

1. Present-Year Adoption Rate Calculator (PARC)

Calculates the current adoption rate of a specific agricultural technology. Users can input parameters such as seed rate, multiplication factor, and crop area to estimate adoption and save results for analysis.

Go to PARC Calculator

2. Estimation of Adoption Rate

Calculates the adoption rate of a technology over time based on initial, present, and maximum adoption rates, and year of technology inception.

Go to Adoption Rate Calculator

3. Estimation of Economic Surplus

Quantifies economic benefits from technology adoption using price, yield, cost changes, and supply-demand elasticities. Estimates consumer surplus, producer surplus, and total surplus.

Go to Economic Surplus Calculator

4. Risk Reduction Benefit

Evaluates how specific practices reduce risk, using relative risk aversion coefficient and variation coefficients under control and improved conditions.

Go to Risk Reduction Calculator

5. Poverty Reduction Effect

Estimates the impact of agricultural improvements on poverty in a specific area using AgGDP, elasticity of poverty, and the number of poor people.
