Abstract

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyze the characteristics of agribusiness firms in India, China and Pakistan, as well as the challenges they face in doing business. Design/methodology/approach This study is based on the World Bank’s Enterprises Survey (WBES) data. The survey was carried out through a questionnaire survey from the owner and top managers of 716, 247 and 174 agribusiness from India, Pakistan and China, respectively. This enterprises survey has comprised the information regarding the wide range of firms’ characteristics and 16 parameters of business obstacles. Simple statistical tools such as chi-square and analysis of variance have been used to analyze the data. Findings Chi-square test shows the statistically significance difference in firms’ characteristics across agribusiness firms of India, China and Pakistan. Chinese firms are better in terms of having an international quality certification, own websites and getting credit. In Pakistan, access to land for agribusiness is an obstacle while for India and China, it is easy to acquire land for agribusiness purposes. In Pakistan, tax rate and political stability is a moderate obstacle while in India and China, it is a minor obstacle in agribusiness. Labor regulation does not perceive any considerable obstacle in doing business in India and Pakistan. Practical implications This study provides an understanding of differences in the agribusiness environment in emerging economies such as India, Pakistan and China based on WBES data. This study can be helpful for agribusiness managers and government policymakers for promoting agriculture-based entrepreneurship. Originality/value It is the first attempt to compare the profile of agribusiness firms in growing Asian economies such as India, Pakistan and China, as well as perceived business hurdles, using a comprehensive enterprises survey data of World Bank.

了解新兴亚洲经济体中农业综合企业的容易程度:来自世界企业调查的证据
本文的目的是分析印度、中国和巴基斯坦农业综合企业的特点,以及他们在经营中面临的挑战。本研究基于世界银行企业调查(WBES)数据。该调查是通过问卷调查进行的,调查对象分别是来自印度、巴基斯坦和中国的716家、247家和174家农业综合企业的所有者和高层管理人员。这项企业调查包含了关于广泛的企业特征和16个商业障碍参数的信息。简单的统计工具,如卡方和方差分析已被用于分析数据。结果表明,在印度、中国和巴基斯坦的农业综合企业中,企业特征存在统计学显著差异。中国公司在拥有国际质量认证、拥有自己的网站和获得信用方面做得更好。在巴基斯坦,农业综合企业获得土地是一个障碍,而对印度和中国来说,农业综合企业获得土地很容易。在巴基斯坦,税率和政治稳定是一个温和的障碍,而在印度和中国,这是农业综合企业的一个小障碍。劳工法规并未认为在印度和巴基斯坦开展业务存在任何重大障碍。实际意义本研究基于WBES数据,提供了对印度、巴基斯坦和中国等新兴经济体农业综合企业环境差异的理解。本研究可为农业企业管理者和政府决策者促进农业创业提供参考。原创性/价值这是第一次利用世界银行的综合企业调查数据,比较印度、巴基斯坦和中国等增长中的亚洲经济体中农业综合企业的概况,以及所感知到的商业障碍。
