Abstract

This paper examines the impacts of technology training and buyer-supplier relationship on technology adoption and quality upgrading. We randomly varied subjects of each training group across farmer–exporter clusters—farmers, exporters, both, or none—and provided training on Good Agricultural Practices (GAP). We find that training farmers enhances technology adoption and quality upgrading. Yet, the effects are much stronger when farmers and exporters are trained together. We document a plausible mechanism to explain this finding: joint training improves buyer-supplier relationship, which facilitates contract trade between farmers and exporters. We find no effect of GAP certification eligibility on technology adoption.

农业供应链中的技术培训、供需关系与质量升级
本文考察了技术培训和供需关系对技术采用和质量提升的影响。我们在农民-出口商集群中随机改变了每个培训小组的主题——农民、出口商,两者都有,或者没有——并提供了良好农业规范(GAP)培训。我们发现,培训农民可以提高技术采用率和质量提升。然而,当农民和出口商一起接受培训时,效果会更强。我们记录了一个合理的机制来解释这一发现:联合培训改善了买方-供应商关系,促进了农民和出口商之间的合同贸易。我们发现GAP认证资格对技术采用没有影响。
