Abstract

Studies that address the effect of supply chain (SC) factors on market participation are relatively inadequate. To bridge this gap, we employ marginal effects analysis based on the binary logit model to examine the effect of SC factors on market participation among smallholder cereal crop producers in Tanzania. Data were sourced from 359 smallholder cereal crop producers using a cross-sectional questionnaire survey. The findings of the study indicate that SC infrastructure negatively and significantly affects smallholders’ market participation decisions ( β = −0.0918, p < .0013). Furthermore, the results of marginal effects suggest that market participation by smallholder cereal crop producers is positively and significantly affected by the extent of competition between agricultural SCs ( β = 0.1729, p < .0001), SC distribution strategies ( β = 0.2911, p < .0015) and collaborative SC ( β = 0.1856, p < .0002). These findings provide sufficient evidence to conclude that SC factors are significant predictors of market participation among the surveyed smallholder cereal crop producers. Consequently, streamlined measures should be undertaken to help smallholders increase their odds of market participation. These measures may include upgrading road infrastructure to tarmac or bitumen standards, especially in rural areas where farming takes place, infusing farmers’ associations and agricultural extension services, promoting collective marketing and strengthening long-term relationships between farmers and traders. Finally, the study offers valuable information to policymakers and agricultural stakeholders regarding addressing smallholders’ market participation challenges from a SC perspective.

供应链因素对坦桑尼亚小农谷物生产者市场参与的影响
关于供应链因素对市场参与的影响的研究相对不足。为了弥补这一差距,我们采用基于二元logit模型的边际效应分析来检验供应链因素对坦桑尼亚小农户谷物作物生产者市场参与的影响。数据来源于359个小农户谷物作物生产者,采用横断面问卷调查。研究结果表明,供应链基础设施对小农户的市场参与决策产生了负面和显著的影响(β=-0.0918,p<.0013)。此外,边际效应的结果表明,小型谷物作物生产者的市场参与受到农业SC之间竞争程度的积极和显著影响(β=0.1729,p<.0001),供应链分销策略(β=0.2911,p<.0015)和合作供应链(β=0.1856,p<.0002)。这些发现提供了足够的证据,可以得出结论,供应链因素是受访小农户谷物作物生产者市场参与的重要预测因素。因此,应采取精简措施,帮助小农户增加参与市场的机会。这些措施可能包括将道路基础设施升级为柏油路面或沥青标准,特别是在农业发生的农村地区,注入农民协会和农业推广服务,促进集体营销,加强农民和贸易商之间的长期关系。最后,该研究为决策者和农业利益相关者提供了从供应链角度解决小农户市场参与挑战的宝贵信息。
