We found that an increase in farmers’ terms-of-trade allowed relatively large crop-producing farmers to increase their investments at both extensive and intensive margins. Food price spikes had a significant income effect among farmers whose production surplus is large for market sales. During the food price crisis, large farmers particularly increased machine investments, which saved some labour inputs, pointing to the importance of complementarities between land and machine investments.en-USCC BY-NC-ND 3.0 IGOFood price crisisFarm investmentSupply responseterms-of-tradecash cropsJournal ArticleWorld Bank10.1080/00220388.2016.1171846
