operating along value chains. Based on an extensive literature review on access to markets by farmers and on participatory research with farmers, traders, and sectoral stakeholders of leafy vegetables value chains in Kenya and Tanzania, this study argues that the role played by traders in local fresh produce markets in Africa is poorly understood and supported. It is argued that powerful narratives about the benefits of direct access to market by farmers, which are also present in academic literature, are sometimes overoptimistic, or interpreted beyond their scope and applied regardless of the specific features of actors and produce. The study shows that the leafy vegetables trade provides self-employment for many women, and that it has positive impacts on other groups, notably farmers.
沿着价值链运作。基于对农民进入市场的广泛文献综述,以及对肯尼亚和坦桑尼亚叶类蔬菜价值链的农民、贸易商和部门利益相关者的参与性研究,本研究认为,贸易商在非洲当地新鲜农产品市场中发挥的作用,人们知之甚少,也得不到支持。有人认为,关于农民直接进入市场的好处的有力叙述(也出现在学术文献中)有时过于乐观,或者超出其范围进行解释,并且不考虑行动者和农产品的具体特征而加以应用。研究表明,叶菜贸易为许多妇女提供了自营职业,并对其他群体,特别是农民产生了积极影响。

Changes in climate conditions are expected to significantly alter food production patterns and increase food price volatility, leading to challenges for food and nutrition security. Thus, this paper aims to investigate the extent to which climate factors contribute to the volatility of maize price in Benin, using monthly data from 7 markets. To this end, an autoregressive condi tional heteroskedasticity in mean (ARCH-M) model is estimated. Mean and variance equations of monthly maize price are specified as functions of temperature, rainfall of the growing season and a set of control variables including a policy variable and the international price of maize with an ARCH(1) term in the variance equation. The findings from the mean equation sug gest that rainfall has a negative effect on maize prices. Moreover, the estimation results from the variance equation indicate that rainfall and temperature are negatively associated with price volatility. Therefore, the findings indicate that climate change will affect maize price volatility.
气候条件的变化预计将显著改变粮食生产模式,加剧粮食价格波动,给粮食和营养安全带来挑战。因此,本文旨在利用7个市场的月度数据,调查气候因素对贝宁玉米价格波动的影响程度。为此,估计了一个自回归条件均值异方差(ARCH-M)模型。玉米月价格的均值和方差方程被指定为生长季节的温度、降雨量和一组控制变量的函数,其中包括一个政策变量和国际玉米价格,方差方程中有ARCH(1)项。均值方程的结果表明,降雨对玉米价格有负面影响。此外,方差方程的估计结果表明,降雨量和温度与价格波动呈负相关。因此,研究结果表明,气候变化将影响玉米价格的波动。

This study examines the impact of access to bank and non-bank credit on rice productivity and output. It employed the coarsened exact matching (CEM) model and qualitative methods for primary data on a purposive sample of 450 rice farmers across three Local Government Areas of Ebonyi State, Nigeria. Pre-matching results suggest that access to non-bank credit and access to total credit significantly affected labour productivity and output, while access to bank credit significantly affected output. However, the post-matching results show that access to all three categories of credit has no significant effect on either output or capital, labour, and total factor productivity. This study therefore recommends that for an improved production and productivity yield among rice farmers in the state, policies should focus on the issues of improved quality of education and constraints in accessing loans/credits.
本研究考察了获得银行和非银行信贷对水稻生产力和产量的影响。该研究采用粗化精确匹配(CEM)模型和定性方法,对尼日利亚埃邦伊州三个地方政府区的450名稻农进行了有目的样本的原始数据。预匹配结果表明,获得非银行信贷和获得总信贷显著影响劳动生产率和产出,而获得银行信贷显著影响产出。然而,后匹配结果表明,获得所有三类信贷对产出或资本、劳动力和全要素生产率都没有显著影响。因此,本研究建议,为了提高该邦稻农的产量和生产力,政策应侧重于提高教育质量和限制获得贷款/信贷的问题。

Based on a mixed methods approach, we can conclude that these enterprises must face all the industry’s difficulties, and their unique circumstances might make their operations even more difficult. Taking into account the support these enterprises have received in pursuit of their social goals, the opportunities provided by the short food supply chains can help them only if they are also able to find a niche market where solvent demand can accept the specialties of local sourcing.

adequate investigative methodology for identifying the foreign countries that are most suitable targets for promotional strategies. The specific analysis considers many variables, chosen with a view to selecting eligible markets, and ultimately draws up a consistent ranking of the five best nations. To determine the most promising country, the Overall Market Opportunity Index (OMOI) method has been used. This focuses on the most relevant indicators for each of the seven categories used to assess their appeal. The findings show that Denmark can be the best market for focusing the segmentation strategies of the Treviso Radicchio. After this, policy and business implications are addressed and opportunities for future research into emerging related issues are suggested. Strengthening the ranking analysis methodologies used for selecting target markets for the companies that produce Made in Italy luxury foods can also help improve such companies’ competitive profile on international markets.

Institutions and Agricultural Economics: a theoretical framework from Evolutionary Institutionalism 制度与农业经济学:进化制度主义的理论框架
IF 1.2 Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2022-04-22 DOI: 10.7896/j.2265

This paper aims to present central concepts of Evolutionary Institutionalism and to highlight analytical elements that may be useful for studies in agricultural economics. To this end, the study carried out a literature review based on the main references of institutional and evolutionary economics. The main analytical contribution of Evolutionary Institutionalism to agricultural economics lies in understanding economic relations from the perspective of human behaviour. Individuals become central to the analysis of the rural world, since they establish habits, behaviour patterns, and rules of conduct that, when interacting collectively, produce institutions. Thus, it is from the active role of the individual that rural dynamics emerge and consolidate an institutional environment and prevailing social structures. It is possible to point out some specific themes that emerge as potential applications of this line of thought: a) the analysis of the development trajectory of and institutional changes affecting different rural sectors; b) the role of habits, traditions and behavioural trends; c) power relations in agricultural markets; d) the evaluation of public policies for agriculture; e) innovation and technology as determinants of the evolution of routines, and f) the institutions “behind” the new relations of food production and consumption.
本文旨在介绍进化制度主义的核心概念,并强调可能对农业经济学研究有用的分析元素。为此,本研究基于制度经济学和进化经济学的主要参考文献进行了文献综述。进化制度主义对农业经济学的主要分析贡献在于从人类行为的角度理解经济关系。个人成为分析农村世界的核心,因为他们建立了习惯、行为模式和行为规则,当集体互动时,这些规则就会产生制度。因此,正是由于个人的积极作用,农村动态才得以出现并巩固了制度环境和主流社会结构。可以指出这一思路可能应用的一些具体主题:a)分析影响不同农村部门的发展轨迹和制度变化;b) 习惯、传统和行为趋势的作用;c) 农业市场中的权力关系;d) 对农业公共政策的评价;e) 创新和技术是日常生活演变的决定因素,以及f)食品生产和消费新关系背后的机构。

The impact of non-farm activities on agricultural investment in Vietnam: the difference made by credit constraints levels 非农业活动对越南农业投资的影响:信贷约束水平的差异

Credit is a necessary and important factor in the agricultural production process in many poor countries. Credit access can considerably increase the financial ability of farm households for agricultural inputs and productive investments in both the short-run and long run (Lin et al., 2019). Indeed, credit has been considered as one efficient way to improve agricultural productivity and reduce poverty. In developing countries, particularly in rural areas where the credit markets are imperfect, farmers cannot easily access credit sources. With constrained credit, rural households have difficulties in making agricultural inputs investment and consequently must limit their production and smoothing consumption (Oseni and Winters, 2009). Some empirical literature has found that in rural areas of developing countries, credit constraints have significant adverse effects on agricultural productivity (Guirkinger and Boucher, 2008; Dong et al., 2012) and farm investment (Carter and Olinto, 2003). One way farmers used to overcome the constraints and imperfections of the credit market is by diversifying their livelihoods into non-farm activities (Oseni and Winters, 2009). The literature indicated that the income source obtained from non-farm activities could help farm households for improving their household income (Ferreira and Lanjouw, 2001; Nnadi et al., 2020; Kumar et al., 2020), smoothing consumption (Seng, 2015; Mishra et al., 2015; Abdurezak and Ahmed, 2020), and reducing poverty (Haggblade et al., 2010; Hoang et al., 2014; Bui and Hoang, 2020). Sometimes, farm income is not sufficient to supply a sufficient livelihood (Minot et al., 2006), which can be a push factor driving rural households to seek opportunities for employment outside farm activities. In farming activity, farm households always face many risks or limited riskbearing capacity, inducing household members to engage in non-farm activities to reduce risk and reduce consumption uncertainties (Reardon, 1997; Barrett et al., 2001; Oseni and Winters, 2009). In addition, the non-farm income can be used in agricultural production when farmers do not have enough financial capacity to pay for farm inputs. Thus, participation in the non-farm market could help farm household to relax the liquidity constraints they face when credit is not available (Pfeiffer et al., 2009). Both the loss of family labour in the shift from farm activity to non-farm activities and access to non-farm income can influence agricultural production in direct and indirect ways. Besides the labour-lost effect, the earnings from non-farm employment can provide cash for farmers to make investments in agricultural production to enhance productivity. These investments could be for the short term such as the purchase of fertilisers, feed, herbicide, pesticide, and other inputs, or for the long term such as investments in machinery or irrigation or the adoption of new technologies (high yielding seed or improved seed) (Pfeiffer et
在许多贫穷国家,信贷是农业生产过程中必不可少的重要因素。从短期和长期来看,获得信贷可以大大提高农户的农业投入和生产性投资的财务能力(Lin等人,2019)。事实上,信贷一直被认为是提高农业生产力和减少贫困的一种有效途径。在发展中国家,特别是在信贷市场不完善的农村地区,农民无法轻易获得信贷来源。由于信贷受限,农村家庭难以进行农业投入投资,因此必须限制其生产和平滑消费(Oseni和Winters, 2009)。一些实证文献发现,在发展中国家的农村地区,信贷约束对农业生产力有显著的不利影响(Guirkinger and Boucher, 2008;Dong et al., 2012)和农业投资(Carter and Olinto, 2003)。农民用来克服信贷市场的限制和不完善的一种方法是使他们的生计多样化,进入非农业活动(Oseni和Winters, 2009)。文献表明,从非农活动中获得的收入来源可以帮助农户提高家庭收入(Ferreira and Lanjouw, 2001;Nnadi et al., 2020;Kumar et ., 2020),平滑消耗(Seng, 2015;Mishra et al., 2015;Abdurezak和Ahmed, 2020),以及减少贫困(Haggblade et al., 2010;huang et al., 2014;Bui and Hoang, 2020)。有时,农业收入不足以提供足够的生计(Minot et al., 2006),这可能是促使农村家庭在农业活动之外寻求就业机会的推动因素。在农业活动中,农户往往面临诸多风险或风险承受能力有限,从而诱使家庭成员从事非农业活动,以降低风险,减少消费的不确定性(Reardon, 1997;Barrett et al., 2001;奥塞尼和温特斯,2009)。此外,当农民没有足够的财政能力支付农业投入时,非农收入可以用于农业生产。因此,参与非农市场可以帮助农户在信贷不可用时放松流动性约束(Pfeiffer et al., 2009)。从农业活动转向非农业活动时家庭劳动力的损失和获得非农业收入的机会都可能以直接和间接的方式影响农业生产。除了劳动力流失效应外,非农业就业的收入可以为农民提供现金,用于投资农业生产以提高生产率。这些投资可以是短期的,如购买肥料、饲料、除草剂、农药和其他投入,也可以是长期的,如投资于机械或灌溉或采用新技术(高产种子或改良种子)(Pfeiffer et al., 2009)。有许多研究表明,在若干发展中国家,非农业活动与农业投入投资/费用之间的关系。研究结果表明,这种影响可以是积极的、消极的,也可以是零(等于零),这取决于环境。在许多国家,包括保加利亚、尼日利亚、墨西哥、菲律宾和加纳,已经探索了非农业参与与生产性农业资产购买之间的积极关系(Hertz, 2009;Oseni and Winters, 2009;Pfeiffer et al., 2009;高桥和大冢,2009;Anríquez and Daidone, 2010)。这些研究都得出结论,非农业活动的收入可以放松农户的信贷限制,他们现在有能力为农业生产投入支付更多费用。然而,在阿尔巴尼亚、肯尼亚和中国,非农就业被发现有负面影响或没有影响(阿尔巴尼亚:Kilic et al., 2009;肯尼亚:Mathenge等人,2015;中国:Huang et al., 2009)农业投入支出。Ahituv和Kimhi(2002)分析了农户的非农劳动力和农场资本投资决策,发现了强烈的负相关关系(hang Thi Thuy NGUYEN*, Xuan Hung PHAM*和Takumi KONDO**)

Thus, participation in the non-farm market could help farm household to relax the liquidity constraints they face when credit is not available (Pfeiffer et al., 2009). Both the loss of family labour in the shift from farm activity to non-farm activities and access to non-farm income can influence agricultural production in direct and indirect ways. Besides the labour-lost effect, the earnings from non-farm employment can provide cash for farmers to make investments in agricultural production to enhance productivity. These investments could be for the short term such as the purchase of fertilisers, feed, herbicide, pesticide, and other inputs, or for the long term such as investments in machinery or irrigation or the adoption of new technologies (high yielding seed or improved seed) (Pfeiffer et ","PeriodicalId":44547,"journal":{"name":"Studies in Agricultural Economics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2021-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43438240","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
