Figure 24: Average acreage under cultivation per crop for the sample of smallholders in the Eastern and Northern regions of Sierra Leone. The proportion of smallholders cultivating different crops is presented in Figure 25. This figure shows that 90-100% of the growers produce coffee or/and cocoa in the East. Additionally, cassava and vegetables are more present in the East. In the North, (lowland and upland) rice is the dominant crop although inter-cropped with other stapes such as sweet potato or tree crops such as palm oil which is usually devoted to domestic consumption. Figure 25: Proportions of smallholders in the Northern and Eastern samples cultivating the different crops. Figure 26 and Figure 27 compare land allocation in the Northern and Eastern region for the median farmer, confirming the above findings. 79
