PurposePost-harvest losses are becoming a huge issue globally and predominantly severe in developing countries. Food losses decrease farm income by 15% for about 480m small-scale farming households. With technology adoption, particularly, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) usage, minimising post-harvest losses will be more effective, because of its ability to build households’ human development by bridging the information gap.Design/methodology/approachThis study empirically examines the impact of ICT usage on post-harvest losses in Nigeria, utilising Wave 4 (2018/2019) of the Living Standards Measurement Studies (LSMS), Integrated Survey on Agriculture (ISA). The study engages the Logit regression and Propensity Score Matching (PSM) to analyse the data.FindingsThe findings show that post-harvest losses constitute about 38% of household agricultural production. In addition, it shows that the influence of ICT is statistically significant and positive in reducing post-harvest losses.Research limitations/implicationsIt implies that access to mobile phones and the Internet by households helps in developing their human capital through information access, for example, by linking them to the market and enhancing value chain participation. In addition, the implication is that mobile phone and Internet access contribute 1.87% and 2.68%, respectively, to reducing post-harvest losses. The findings suggest that there is a need for the government to improve support mechanisms for ICT usage among farming households.Social implicationsThe study contributes to the society by examining how the well-being of farmers can be improved upon in order to increase their productivity.Originality/valueThe study on the contribution of ICT to post-harvest losses is relatively sparse in the extant literature. Therefore, this study is among the very few to empirically examine the impact of different ICT indicators, using the LSMS-ISA (2019) data and engaging propensity matching, while focusing on the household heads.
目的 收获后损失正在成为一个全球性的大问题,在发展中国家尤为严重。粮食损失使约 4.8 亿小型农户的农业收入减少 15%。随着技术的采用,特别是信息和通信技术(ICT)的使用,收获后损失的最小化将更加有效,因为它能够通过弥合信息鸿沟来促进家庭的人类发展。本研究利用生活水平衡量研究(LSMS)的第 4 波(2018/2019 年)农业综合调查(ISA),实证检验了 ICT 的使用对尼日利亚收获后损失的影响。研究采用了 Logit 回归和倾向得分匹配(PSM)来分析数据。研究结果研究结果表明,收获后损失约占家庭农业生产的 38%。研究局限性/启示这意味着,家庭使用手机和互联网有助于通过获取信息发展其人力资本,例如,将他们与市场联系起来并提高价值链参与度。此外,这还意味着手机和互联网的使用分别为减少收获后损失做出了 1.87% 和 2.68% 的贡献。研究结果表明,政府有必要改进支持农户使用信息和通信技术的机制。社会影响本研究通过探讨如何改善农民的福利以提高其生产力,为社会做出了贡献。 原创性/价值关于信息和通信技术对收获后损失的贡献的研究在现有文献中相对较少。因此,本研究是为数不多的利用LSMS-ISA(2019年)数据和倾向匹配对不同ICT指标的影响进行实证研究的研究之一,同时重点关注户主。

PurposeThis study assesses the impact of online grocery shopping and food delivery services on food insecurity before and during the COVID-19 pandemic.Design/methodology/approachThis study uses an online survey of 1,532 respondents. Respondents’ sociodemographics, food consumption, purchasing behavior, food security status, food insecurity coping mechanisms and concerns associated with food safety were asked before and during COVID-19.FindingsOnline grocery shopping and food delivery services increase food insecurity. Moreover, households with female primary shoppers were less likely to be food insecure than households with male primary shoppers. Furthermore, households with children were more likely to be food insecure. Minority households, such as Black, Hispanic, Native American and younger households, were more likely to be food insecure.Research limitations/implicationsPanel data with the same households surveyed before and after COVID-19 would be a better approach. Similarly, the impact of online shopping on food insecurity needs further research, as many factors could be associated with online shopping that impact food insecurity, especially during a crisis like the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, a study of the long-term impact of online shopping on food insecurity would be interesting and could present broader and more generalizable results.Originality/valueThe impact of online shopping on food insecurity before and during COVID-19 has yet to be studied sufficiently. Given the increase in popularity of online grocery shopping, its impact on food insecurity still needs to be discovered. Besides online grocery shopping, we also study online food delivery services whose demand has gained momentum over the past few years, including during the pandemic.
目的本研究评估了在 COVID-19 大流行之前和期间,网上杂货购物和食品配送服务对食品不安全的影响。在 COVID-19 流行之前和期间,调查了受访者的社会人口统计学、食品消费、购买行为、食品安全状况、食品不安全应对机制以及与食品安全相关的担忧。此外,与主要购物者为男性的家庭相比,主要购物者为女性的家庭更不可能缺乏粮食安全。此外,有孩子的家庭更容易出现粮食不安全问题。少数民族家庭,如黑人家庭、西班牙裔家庭、美国原住民家庭和年轻家庭,更有可能出现粮食不安全问题。研究局限性/意义在 COVID-19 前后对相同家庭进行调查的小组数据将是更好的方法。同样,网上购物对粮食不安全的影响也需要进一步研究,因为许多因素都可能与影响粮食不安全的网上购物有关,尤其是在 COVID-19 大流行这样的危机期间。此外,对网购对粮食不安全的长期影响进行研究也很有意义,可以得出更广泛、更有普遍性的结果。原创性/价值在 COVID-19 之前和期间,网购对粮食不安全的影响尚未得到充分研究。鉴于网上购物日益普及,其对食品不安全的影响仍有待研究。除了网上杂货购物,我们还研究了网上食品配送服务,其需求在过去几年(包括大流行病期间)增长势头迅猛。

PurposeThere will probably be nine billion people on the earth by 2050, meaning food consumption will rise dramatically. Pakistan, the fifth most populous nation in the world, is rapidly expanding its population, making it difficult for the nation to sustain its food supply. Unfortunately, the country's focus on ensuring food security has not kept up with the demographic shifts in its population. However, innovative solutions are sorely needed in the face of several worldwide problems, especially in the crucial agriculture sector. This underscores the need to integrate sustainable financial practices. Considering these circumstances, this research thoroughly examines the intricate relationship inside Pakistan between financial stability (FS), agricultural subsidies, and productivity. Acknowledging the underlying intricacies and asymmetries at work, this study aims to analyze the complex relationships influencing the nation's agricultural production.Design/methodology/approachThe research tries to shed light on the subtle processes at the intersection of financial stability, agricultural subsidies, and agricultural productivity through a comprehensive investigation of these multiple challenges. A non-linear autoregressive distributive lag (NARDL) technique is used, using a dataset from 1980 to 2022.FindingsThe results show that FS has a mixed impact on agricultural productivity, both positive and negative. Increasing FS_POS has a beneficial influence on agricultural output, linked to a notable 1.404% increase in output. On the other hand, increasing FS_NEG causes a significant 11.441% decrease in agricultural output, demonstrating its negative impact on output. Subsidies for agriculture also have asymmetric impacts; SUB_POS and SUB_NEG influence variations in agricultural productivity. A substantial 2.414% rise in agricultural output is shown by SUB_POS, demonstrating its noteworthy beneficial influence. Conversely, SUB_NEG adds a relatively small increase of 1.659% in agricultural output. However, the different amounts of each person's contribution show how subtle their effects are.Research limitations/implicationsThe current study is limited to the relationship between financial stability, agricultural subsidies, and agricultural productivity, considering the inherent complexity and asymmetries at work in Pakistan only. Further studies are required in Asian markets to have a bigger picture of the agricultural sector.Originality/valueConsidering these critical empirical findings, the report recommends strategic strategies to promote long-term agricultural growth in Pakistan. These include providing integrated financial services customized to farmers' needs, such as credit, insurance, and savings alternatives. Transparency and efficiency in procedural frameworks and the formation of efficient public-private partnerships should be prioritized. Furthermore, improving agricultural subsidy schemes emerges as a crucial priority. Targeting marginalized
目的到 2050 年,地球上可能会有 90 亿人口,这意味着粮食消耗量将急剧上升。巴基斯坦作为世界第五大人口大国,人口正在迅速增长,使国家难以维持粮食供应。遗憾的是,该国对确保粮食安全的关注跟不上人口结构的变化。然而,面对一些世界性的问题,特别是在至关重要的农业部门,亟需创新的解决方案。这凸显了整合可持续金融实践的必要性。考虑到这些情况,本研究深入探讨了巴基斯坦国内金融稳定(FS)、农业补贴和生产力之间错综复杂的关系。本研究承认潜在的错综复杂和不对称在起作用,旨在分析影响国家农业生产的复杂关系。设计/方法/途径本研究试图通过对这些多重挑战的全面调查,揭示金融稳定、农业补贴和农业生产力交叉点的微妙过程。研究采用非线性自回归分布滞后(NARDL)技术,使用的数据集从 1980 年到 2022 年。研究结果表明,金融服务对农业生产率的影响有好有坏,既有积极影响,也有消极影响。增加 FS_POS 对农业产出有有利影响,产出显著增加了 1.404%。另一方面,增加 FS_NEG 会导致农业产出大幅下降 11.441%,这表明 FS 对产出有负面影响。农业补贴也有非对称影响;SUB_POS 和 SUB_NEG 影响农业生产率的变化。SUB_POS 使农业产出大幅提高 2.414%,显示出其显著的有利影响。相反,SUB_NEG 对农业产出的影响相对较小,仅增加了 1.659%。然而,每个人的贡献大小不同,这表明他们的影响是多么微妙。研究局限性/启示考虑到巴基斯坦固有的复杂性和非对称性,目前的研究仅限于金融稳定性、农业补贴和农业生产率之间的关系。考虑到这些重要的实证研究结果,本报告提出了促进巴基斯坦农业长期增长的战略策略建议。这些战略包括提供符合农民需求的综合金融服务,如信贷、保险和储蓄等。应优先考虑程序框架的透明度和效率,以及建立高效的公私合作伙伴关系。此外,改进农业补贴计划也是一个至关重要的优先事项。更有效地瞄准边缘化农民,通过透明、数字驱动的系统优化分配,可以显著提高计划绩效。

PurposeThis study aims to find how trade development and digitalization affect smart-green production. Four factors are investigated in these effects (certification, technology innovation, natural resource management, low pesticides).Design/methodology/approachThe mix-method approach was employed from validating the measurement scale to test the proposed hypotheses. At first, the grounded theory is the most authoritative and standard research method in qualitative research. Secondly, quantitative analysis was employed to draw conclusions about the impact of digitalization and trade development on smart-green agricultural production.FindingsThe results found that digitalization and trade development impact the development of smart-green agricultural production through certification employment, technology innovation, and a decrease in pesticide usage. Moreover, digitalization and trade development also indirectly affect the development of intelligent green agricultural production. Meanwhile, digitalization has a higher impact than trade development.Research limitations/implicationsThis research is based on the premise that digitalization and trade development can drive smart green agricultural production. Still, some studies have found a deviation between trade development and environmental protection. Hence, future research can explore the incentive effect of trade development and digitalization on other industries. Second, the measurement of the dependent variables in this study is based on the premise that smart-green agricultural production has not been widely promoted, so the changes in production before and after the whole public participation in smart-green output have yet to be reflected.Originality/valueSmart green production in agriculture is essential for a transition economy and the world to meet food security and protect the environment. However, the effects of certification, technology innovation, natural resource management, and low pesticides on smart-green agriculture production have yet to be identified. Insights from this study can help governments, policy-makers, and farmers in emerging economies by adapting their strategies within their local contexts.
目的本研究旨在了解贸易发展和数字化如何影响智能绿色生产。从验证测量量表到检验提出的假设,本研究采用了混合方法。首先,基础理论是定性研究中最权威、最标准的研究方法。结果结果发现,数字化和贸易发展通过认证就业、技术创新和减少农药使用量影响了智能绿色农业生产的发展。此外,数字化和贸易发展也间接影响了智能绿色农业生产的发展。研究局限性/意义本研究以数字化和贸易发展能够推动智能绿色农业生产为前提。但也有研究发现,贸易发展与环境保护之间存在偏差。因此,未来的研究可以探讨贸易发展和数字化对其他产业的激励作用。其次,本研究对因变量的测量是建立在智慧绿色农业生产尚未得到广泛推广的前提下的,因此全社会参与智慧绿色产出前后的产量变化还有待体现。原创性/价值智慧绿色农业生产对转型经济和世界粮食安全和环境保护至关重要。然而,认证、技术创新、自然资源管理和低农药对智能绿色农业生产的影响尚待确定。这项研究的启示可以帮助新兴经济体的政府、政策制定者和农民因地制宜地调整战略。

PurposeThe agriculture sector is crucial for all economies, especially the developing ones. However, agricultural production is influenced by government intervention, which outshines the significant role of good governance indicators in agricultural productivity. In addition to this, the major climate changes also posed various challenges and led to water shortages and yield losses. Thus affecting agricultural production. In this paper, we address the issue by determining the association between state governance and agricultural productivity in N-11 countries.Design/methodology/approachPanel data have been collected from 2000 to 2021 through the Governance Indicator, World Development Indicator and World Bank databases. For data analysis, the researcher has utilized the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) estimations.FindingsThrough ARDL estimations, it is suggested that corruption (CC), employment in agriculture (EAG), political stability and violence absence (PS), rule of law (RL), regulatory equality (RQ) and water quality (WQ) significantly impact agricultural productivity (AGP) in the long run. In the short run, the impact of RL on AGP has been significant.Research limitations/implicationsThis study follows the method of data collection from secondary sources, which hinders the effectiveness of this study as, on the basis of the respective data, the potential of the researcher to get specific answers to research questions has been affected. Also, this study examines the context of N-11 countries from 2000 to 2021, which exerts a geographical limitation. While exploring the association between state governance and agricultural productivity, this study neglects the internal aspects of implementing state policies in firms.Originality/valueOn practical grounds, the significant association demonstrated by this study encourages agricultural firms to keenly consider state policies to gain sustainable agricultural development. Moreover, this study encourages agricultural firms to efficiently follow governance policies for efficient productivity. The outcomes of the study have shown that agricultural employment and governance infrastructure can efficiently enhance agricultural productivity. Besides, as per the results, water quality also positively impacts agricultural productivity; thus, relevant steps can be taken by the agricultural sector to improve the quality of water.
目的 农业部门对所有经济体,尤其是发展中国家至关重要。然而,农业生产受到政府干预的影响,这使得善治指标在农业生产率方面的重要作用大打折扣。除此之外,重大气候变化也带来了各种挑战,导致缺水和减产。从而影响了农业生产。在本文中,我们通过确定 N-11 国家的国家治理与农业生产率之间的关联来解决这一问题。设计/方法/途径通过治理指标、世界发展指标和世界银行数据库收集了 2000 年至 2021 年的面板数据。研究结果通过自回归分布滞后(ARDL)估计,腐败(CC)、农业就业(EAG)、政治稳定和无暴力(PS)、法治(RL)、监管平等(RQ)和水质(WQ)对农业生产率(AGP)有显著的长期影响。本研究采用了从二手来源收集数据的方法,这阻碍了本研究的有效性,因为在相应数据的基础上,研究人员获得研究问题具体答案的潜力受到了影响。此外,本研究考察的是 2000 年至 2021 年 N-11 国家的情况,这也造成了地域上的限制。本研究在探讨国家治理与农业生产率之间的关联时,忽略了企业执行国家政策的内部因素。此外,本研究还鼓励农业企业有效遵循治理政策,以提高生产率。研究结果表明,农业就业和治理基础设施可以有效提高农业生产率。此外,根据研究结果,水质也会对农业生产率产生积极影响;因此,农业部门可以采取相关措施来改善水质。

PurposeAfrican agricultural mechanization could lead to a mechanization divide, where only large farms have access to machines. Technological solutions such as scale-appropriate machines and institutional solutions like service markets offer hope for more inclusive mechanization. Two-wheel tractor-based service markets combine both technological and institutional elements, but there is limited research on their economic viability and challenges.Design/methodology/approachWe analyze the economic viability of two-wheel tractor-based service provision based on data from service providers in Ethiopia, Burkina Faso, and Zimbabwe. We also examine the institutional framework conditions for such service providers based on qualitative interviews with these service providers and stakeholders such as machinery dealers, spare parts providers, and banks.FindingsTwo-wheel tractor-based service provision is economically highly viable, largely due to multifunctionality. Post-production services such as threshing and transportation are particularly lucrative. However, the emergence and economic sustainability of service providers can be undermined by bottlenecks such as access to finance, knowledge and skills development, access to fuel and spare parts, and infrastructure problems.Originality/valueThis is the first study on the economics of two-wheel tractor-based service provider models. Past studies have focused on large four-wheel tractors, but two-wheel tractors are different in many aspects, including regarding investment costs, repair and maintenance costs, capacity, and multifunctionality.
目的 非洲农业机械化可能导致机械化鸿沟,即只有大型农场才能使用机械。适合规模的机器等技术解决方案和服务市场等制度解决方案为更具包容性的机械化带来了希望。基于双轮拖拉机的服务市场结合了技术和制度要素,但有关其经济可行性和挑战的研究却很有限。我们根据埃塞俄比亚、布基纳法索和津巴布韦服务提供商提供的数据,分析了基于双轮拖拉机提供服务的经济可行性。我们还根据对这些服务提供商以及机械经销商、零配件供应商和银行等利益相关者的定性访谈,研究了这些服务提供商的制度框架条件。脱粒和运输等产后服务尤其有利可图。然而,资金获取、知识和技能发展、燃料和备件获取以及基础设施问题等瓶颈可能会影响服务提供商的出现和经济可持续性。 原创性/价值这是第一项关于以两轮拖拉机为基础的服务提供商模式的经济学研究。以往的研究侧重于大型四轮拖拉机,但两轮拖拉机在投资成本、维修和维护成本、产能和多功能性等许多方面都有所不同。

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to describe and analyze the impacts that the recent proliferation of private and overlapping standards is having in the trade of agricultural products from developing countries.Design/methodology/approachIn a first stage industry experts in the Chilean fresh fruit trading industry were interviewed to understand the perceived impact that private standards are imposing in the industry. These interviews allowed to identify the market case study, table grapes, the landscape of private standards and their prevalence in different countries. In a second stage, a gravity trade model for trade in table grapes was estimated, with a focus on the more stringent countries identified by experts in the first stage.FindingsWe show evidence that the proliferation of private standards required by large European retailers has diverted trade away from more stringent countries that require more certifications (and into less stringent European markets). We also show that the costs of these additional certifications have been shared by trading partners, via an increase in direct sales, as opposed to consignment (the traditional marketing mode), which is associated with higher prices.Research limitations/implicationsThe impacts of the recent proliferation of private and overlapping standards in international trade needs to be better understood both by the legal and economic literature. While the use of private standards has been growing since the 1990s, there is a recent trend of large European retailers imposing their own and overlapping standards that needs to be better understood to inform policy.Originality/valueWhile there is a thin literature on the impact of private standards on trade, most of this has studied the effects of the now de facto mandatory GlobalGAP certification. However, there is a recent trend by large European retailers of demanding their own private certifications, together with other already existing overlapping private standards. This study describes and analyzes the impacts of this rather new trend.
本文旨在描述和分析近来私营标准和重叠标准的扩散对发展中国家农产品贸易的影响。在第一阶段,对智利新鲜水果贸易行业的专家进行了访谈,以了解私营标准对该行业的影响。通过这些访谈,确定了市场案例研究--鲜食葡萄、私营标准的情况及其在不同国家的普遍程度。在第二阶段,我们估算了餐桌葡萄贸易的引力贸易模型,重点关注专家们在第一阶段确定的较为严格的国家。研究结果我们显示,有证据表明,欧洲大型零售商所要求的私人标准的激增,使贸易从要求更多认证的较为严格的国家转移到了要求不那么严格的欧洲市场。我们还表明,这些额外认证的成本已由贸易伙伴通过增加直接销售来分担,而不是与价格较高的寄售(传统营销模式)相关联。研究局限/意义法律和经济文献需要更好地理解近期国际贸易中私营标准和重叠标准激增的影响。虽然自 20 世纪 90 年代以来,私营标准的使用一直在增长,但最近欧洲大型零售商开始实施自己的重叠标准,这种趋势需要更好地理解,以便为政策提供参考。原创性/价值虽然关于私营标准对贸易的影响的文献较少,但其中大部分都研究了现在事实上的强制性全球良好农业规范认证的影响。不过,欧洲大型零售商最近有一种趋势,即要求自己的私营认证以及其他已经存在的相互重叠的私营标准。本研究描述并分析了这一新趋势的影响。

PurposeEffective agricultural product price regulation policies depend on market integration and the degree of symmetry in the transmission of agricultural product price signals. This study analyzes the transmission and asymmetry of the price series between the Ouagadougou consumer market and assembly markets considering three primary cereal products in Burkina Faso.Design/methodology/approachThis study applies the nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag (NARDL) econometric model, which is an asymmetric extension of the ARDL cointegration model. The price series examined covers the period extending from January 2005 to December 2020.FindingsOur analysis provides novel insights regarding short- and long-term asymmetric effects in the transmission of price signals between assembly markets and the consumer market. We also determine that the effects of negative shocks are more persistent than those of positive shocks in several markets.Research limitations/implicationsFor markets that exhibit symmetrical responses of assembly market prices to consumer market prices, the results could reflect the continuous efforts of market players, particularly the government, to eliminate market failures and ensure the long-term efficiency of cereal markets. To this end, an agricultural market information system can have a crucial role in easing information access for all market players.Originality/valueThis study provides new evidence regarding the nature of the transmission and asymmetry of price information on primary cereal products in the largest markets in Burkina Faso. Applying the NARDL model makes it possible to simultaneously estimate short- and long-term asymmetry.
目的 有效的农产品价格监管政策取决于市场一体化和农产品价格信号传递的对称程度。本研究分析了布基纳法索三种主要谷物产品的价格序列在瓦加杜古消费市场和组装市场之间的传递和非对称性。我们的分析为价格信号在装配市场和消费市场之间传递的短期和长期非对称效应提供了新的见解。我们还确定,在几个市场中,负面冲击的影响比正面冲击的影响更持久。研究局限/意义对于装配市场价格与消费市场价格呈现对称反应的市场,研究结果可能反映了市场参与者(尤其是政府)为消除市场失灵、确保谷物市场的长期效率而做出的不懈努力。为此,农产品市场信息系统可以发挥关键作用,为所有市场参与者提供更多的信息获取渠道。应用 NARDL 模型可以同时估算短期和长期的不对称。

Purpose This research examines the impact of governance structures within the Brazilian pork supply chain on the necessary controls for exportation. Specifically, the goal is to unravel the intricacies of this supply chain and decode its complexity.Design/methodology/approach Using transaction cost economics as a theoretical lens, we surveyed the main bodies responsible for the export and quality assurance sectors of Brazilian organizations that trade and export pork. Our sample comprises 53.5% of the country’s pork exporting companies during the period analyzed.Findings The presence of vertical and horizontal governance structures in the pork export chain stands out. While the vertical structure enables greater control due to command relations, there are trust and cooperation relations in the horizontal structure. This makes it possible to establish mechanisms to control health, quality, safety and traceability in both structures. We also identified each company’s characteristics: formation configuration (if the cooperative, publicly traded company, or other modality), capital stock, location, the average daily slaughter of pigs for export and sows per producer. We conclude that the organizations have concerns related to the food safety programs, as there are programs that seek transparency throughout the process in many supply chain stages.Research limitations/implications Studies that relate the level of orientation to the export market with the occurrence or risk of corrupt and opportunistic behavior and the coordination mechanisms adopted may represent an interesting and important opportunity for studies.Originality/value This study helps to understand the complexity of the Brazilian pork supply chain.
目的 本研究探讨了巴西猪肉供应链中的管理结构对出口必要控制的影响。设计/方法/途径 我们以交易成本经济学为理论视角,调查了巴西猪肉贸易和出口组织中负责出口和质量保证的主要机构。在分析期间,我们的样本包括巴西 53.5%的猪肉出口公司。纵向结构通过指挥关系实现更大的控制,而横向结构中则存在信任与合作关系。这就使得在这两种结构中建立卫生、质量、安全和可追溯性控制机制成为可能。我们还确定了每家公司的特点:组成结构(如果是合作社、上市公司或其他模式)、资本存量、地点、平均每天屠宰的出口猪和每个生产者的母猪数量。我们得出的结论是,这些组织关注与食品安全计划有关的问题,因为在供应链的许多阶段,都有一些计划寻求整个过程的透明度。研究局限性/意义 将出口市场的定位水平与腐败和机会主义行为的发生或风险以及所采用的协调机制联系起来的研究,可能是一个有趣而重要的研究机会。

Prospects of crop insurance for sustenance of farmers' livelihood during GM cotton crop failure in Indian Punjab 印度旁遮普邦转基因棉花歉收期间农作物保险为农民生计提供保障的前景

Purpose Despite the susceptibility of cotton crops to pest attacks in the Malwa Region of Indian Punjab, no crop insurance policy has been implemented there– not even the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY), which is a central scheme. Therefore, this paper attempts to gauge the likely impact of the PMFBY on Punjab cotton farmers and assess the changes needed for greater uptake and effectiveness of PMFBY.Design/methodology/approach The authors have conducted a primary survey to conduct this study. Initially, the authors compared the costs of cotton production with the returns in two scenarios (with and without insurance). Additionally, the authors have applied a logistic regression framework to examine the determinants of the willingness of farmers to participate in the crop insurance market.Findings The study finds that net returns of cotton crops are conventionally small and insufficient to cope with damages from crop failure. Yet, PMFBY will require some modifications in the premium rate and the level of indemnity for its greater uptake among Punjab cotton farmers. Additionally, using the logistic regression framework, the authors find that an increase in awareness about crop insurance and farmers' perceptions about their crop failure in the near future reduces the willingness of the farmers to participate in the crop insurance markets.Research limitations/implications The present study looks for the viability of PMFBY in Indian Punjab for the cotton crop, which can also be extended to other crops.Social implications Punjab could also use crop insurance to encourage diversification in agriculture. There is a need for special packages for diversified crops under any crop insurance policy. Crops susceptible to volatility due to climate-related factors should be identified and provided with a special insurance package.Originality/value There exist very scant studies that have discussed the viability of a central crop insurance scheme in the agricultural-rich state of India, i.e. Punjab. Moreover, they do not also focus on crop losses accruing due to pest and insect attacks.
目的 尽管印度旁遮普邦马尔瓦地区的棉花作物易受虫害侵袭,但当地却没有实施任何作物保险政策,甚至连中央计划 Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana(PMFBY)也没有。因此,本文试图衡量 "PMFBY "对旁遮普棉农可能产生的影响,并评估为提高 "PMFBY "的吸收率和有效性而需要做出的改变。首先,作者比较了两种情况下(有保险和无保险)的棉花生产成本和收益。此外,作者还运用逻辑回归框架,研究了农民参与作物保险市场意愿的决定因素。 研究结果 研究发现,棉花作物的净收益通常较小,不足以应对作物歉收造成的损失。然而,要使旁遮普棉农更多地接受 "棉花保险计划",需要对保费率和赔偿金水平进行一些调整。此外,作者利用逻辑回归框架发现,对农作物保险认识的提高以及农民对近期内农作物歉收的看法会降低农民参与农作物保险市场的意愿。在任何作物保险政策下,都有必要为多样化作物提供特殊的一揽子保险。应确定易受气候相关因素影响而波动的作物,并为其提供特殊的一揽子保险方案。 原创性/价值 在印度农业资源丰富的邦,即旁遮普邦,很少有研究讨论中央作物保险计划的可行性。此外,这些研究也没有关注病虫害造成的作物损失。
