Abstract
⺠We analyze effects of supermarket growth on agricultural labor markets in Kenya. ⺠We use data from a survey of vegetable farmers to estimate labor demand models. ⺠Participation in supermarkets increases likelihood of hiring labor by 20%. ⺠Furthermore, it increases demand for hired labor by 61%. ⺠Positive employment effects are especially pronounced for female laborers.
