Note: Coefficients estimated using an ordinal least squares model controlling for block fixed effects (not reported), with standard errors clustered at the village level. Coefficients for tomato farmers have been corrected for attrition using inverse probability weights. Food security observations are missing for 110 wheat producers and nine tomato producers due to a change in the survey instrument.
