In the Ugandan coffee sector, for example, women are typically engaged in tending coffee plants, picking and drying coffee, and men in planting, pruning and marketing (Verhart and Pybum, 2012). In Lao People’s Democratic Republic, women are more engaged in transplanting rice, weeding, harvesting, post-harvest operations and marketing, and men in land preparation, ploughing and fencing (FAO/SIDA, 2010b). Eggs, milk and poultry, in particular, tend to be female-intensive sectors, while men often have a prominent role in managing cattle. Time-use data indicate that activities such as petty trading and retailing tend to be carried out more by female than male household members, while men have greater opportunities in other non-agricultural sectors, such as construction and transport.
