Abstract
⺠This research assesses how institutions and agro-ecology mediate the performance of Bt cotton in Burkina Faso. ⺠Unique seed pricing arrangements and secure credit enhance the success and evenness of Bt cotton. ⺠High seed price, persistent corruption and late cotton payments reduce adoption rates. ⺠Risks associated with Bt cotton appear to disproportionally affect resource-poor farmers. ⺠Bt cotton's performance cannot be separated from its sociological and agro-ecological context.
