Abstract
Commercialization occurs both between households within the same
community, as well as between households and external markets. The
drivers of commercialization at household and community level are
not yet well understood. The trend in commercialization is increasing
in most of the agricultural products, both in terms of the range of
products involved, the number of participants and the value traded,
while commercialization of wild fruit and its products still absent or
extremely limited. Therefore, the main objective of this paper was to
find the drivers governing the commercialization of edible wild fruits
in Kenyan dry lands and to give recommendations on the possible
prime movers to a commercialization of edible wild fruits among
pastoralists in Kenya. An ordinal logistic regression model of binary
choice was used as the major analytical tool. Therefore, this research
concluded that establishing or improving the storage facility, improving
transportation or road network and establishing the fruit nursery are
the key factors that can motivate the community to commercialize and
proper utilization this potential resource.
