PurposeThis paper aims to examine the impact of social capital and self-efficacy in the performance of producer organizations. It also tests the mediating influence of self-efficacy in the relationship of social capital and performance of producer organizations.Design/methodology/approachThe study used data from a survey of 226 members of farmer producer organizations (FPO) in India. The model was tested through structural equation modeling wherein all hypotheses were tested using “R” studio.FindingsThe findings reveal that social capital and self-efficacy play a significant role in predicting the performance of FPO. It was found that in the process of social capital influencing the performance of FPO, self-efficacy plays a significant role as a partial mediator with a mediating effect of approximately 69.28%.Research limitations/implicationsThe study considered only one antecedent while identifying the reasons for perceived performance of FPOs. Hence, further studies of the various other constructs such as attitude, subjective norms, etc., may be considered.Originality/valueNo previous work has examined the mediating role of self-efficacy in the relationship between social capital and perceived performance of FPO. This study is possibly the only one that joins two streams of thought – social capital and self-efficacy – to examine the performance of FPO.
目的研究社会资本和自我效能对生产者组织绩效的影响。检验了自我效能感在社会资本与生产者组织绩效关系中的中介作用。设计/方法/方法该研究使用了对印度226名农民生产者组织(FPO)成员的调查数据。该模型通过结构方程建模进行了测试,其中所有假设都使用“R”工作室进行了测试。研究结果表明,社会资本和自我效能感在预测FPO绩效方面发挥着重要作用。研究发现,在社会资本影响FPO绩效的过程中,自我效能作为部分中介发挥着重要作用,中介效应约为69.28%。研究局限性/含义本研究在确定FPO感知绩效的原因时,只考虑了一个先行因素。因此,可以考虑对态度、主观规范等其他各种结构进行进一步的研究。独创性/价值以往没有研究过自我效能在社会资本和FPO感知绩效之间关系中的中介作用。这项研究可能是唯一一项结合社会资本和自我效能这两种思想流来检验FPO绩效的研究。

PurposeFarmers in India are hesitant to adopt organic farming (OF) despite high demand for organic products and favorable policy measures to encourage the practice. Therefore, this study aims to assess the OF adoption barriers faced by Indian farmers using a systematic method of multi-criteria decision making (MCDM).Design/methodology/approachThe authors explored eighteen barriers to OF adoption by conducting a literature survey and discussion with experts on OF. Then the authors used a combined method of Grey Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) and Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) methodology to rank the barriers and analyze their interactions.FindingsThe analysis reveals that “Lack of knowledge and information,” “lack of financial capacity of farmers’ and “lack of institutional support” are the cause (independent) barriers that significantly impact other barriers. The top three effect (dependent) barriers are “lack of availability of organic inputs,” “personal characteristics such as age, attitudes and beliefs” and “lack of premium pricing,” which are affected by the other barriers.Research limitations/implicationsThis research work will help the decision makers understand the barriers to OF adoption in India and their interrelationships. The proposed framework enables them to focus on the high-priority independent barriers, which will subsequently impact the other dependent barriers.Originality/valuePrevious research on OF adoption barriers lacked a multifaceted scientific approach, which is necessary because OF is a complex system and needs a thorough investigation to assess the interaction between the barriers. The research attempts to fill this gap and addresses the complex nature of adoption barriers.
目的尽管对有机产品的需求很高,而且采取了有利的政策措施鼓励这种做法,但印度的农民对采用有机农业犹豫不决。因此,本研究旨在使用多标准决策的系统方法(MCDM)来评估印度农民面临的OF采用障碍。设计/方法论/方法作者通过进行文献调查和与OF专家的讨论,探讨了OF采用的18个障碍。然后,作者采用灰色决策试验与评估实验室(DEMATEL)和解释结构建模(ISM)相结合的方法对障碍进行排序,并分析其相互作用。结果分析表明,“缺乏知识和信息”、“农民缺乏财政能力”和“缺乏制度支持”是造成(独立)障碍的原因,这些障碍对其他障碍产生了重大影响。前三大效应(依赖性)障碍是“缺乏有机投入”、“年龄、态度和信仰等个人特征”和“缺乏溢价定价”,这些都受到其他障碍的影响。研究局限性/含义这项研究工作将帮助决策者了解印度采用OF的障碍及其相互关系。拟议的框架使他们能够专注于高度优先的独立障碍,这将随后影响其他依赖性障碍。独创性/价值以往关于OF采用障碍的研究缺乏多方面的科学方法,这是必要的,因为OF是一个复杂的系统,需要进行彻底的调查来评估障碍之间的相互作用。这项研究试图填补这一空白,并解决收养障碍的复杂性。

Purpose The objective of the study is to systematically review the existing research in the topical domain of farmers’ direct link with supermarkets. The authors present a state-of-the-art structure of the field and provide directions for future research in the domain. The major aim of this study is to synthesize the research field and answer some specific questions, like what do we know about this field and where should we be heading.Design/methodology/approach A pool of 275 articles published from 2002 to 2022 were retrieved from the Scopus database and analyzed using the R-based Biblioshiny and visualized using VOSviewer. The research design is a mix of quantitative bibliometric technique and qualitative content analysis. Bibliometric method ensures the objectivity while content analysis ensures the scholarly evaluation.Findings Major findings include production trend, dominant keywords, leading publication outlets and country-wise analysis of the selected articles. The authors found that sub-domains like economic aspects, participation hurdles and the rise of supermarkets are the most researched topics while operational issues, their pragmatic solutions, sustainability and innovation are the emerging sub-fields that need more academic attention.Research limitations/implications The major limitation is the use of single data source, i.e. Scopus, and it is quite possible that useful studies that are not covered by Scopus remain excluded.Originality/value This study is one of the first attempts to systematically review the previous research on the selected topic. It will help researchers to understand the present status, identify future research directions, and pursue more reasonable and relevant topics of research.
目的本研究的目的是系统地回顾现有的研究在农民与超市的直接联系的主题领域。作者提出了该领域的最新结构,并为该领域的未来研究提供了方向。本研究的主要目的是综合研究领域,并回答一些具体的问题,比如我们对这个领域了解多少,我们应该朝哪里去。设计/方法/方法从Scopus数据库中检索2002 - 2022年发表的275篇论文,使用基于r语言的Biblioshiny进行分析,并使用VOSviewer进行可视化。研究设计是定量文献计量技术和定性内容分析的结合。文献计量学方法保证了客观性,内容分析法保证了学术评价。主要发现包括生产趋势、主要关键词、主要出版渠道和对选定文章的国别分析。作者发现,经济方面、参与障碍和超市兴起等子领域是研究最多的主题,而运营问题、其务实解决方案、可持续性和创新是需要更多学术关注的新兴子领域。主要的限制是使用单一的数据源,即Scopus,很有可能没有被Scopus覆盖的有用的研究仍然被排除在外。原创性/价值本研究是对所选主题的先前研究进行系统回顾的首次尝试之一。有助于研究者了解现状,确定未来的研究方向,追求更合理、更相关的研究课题。

PurposeWhile the literature has highlighted the impacts of COVID-19, there is limited evidence on the gendered determinants of the impact of COVID-19 among small-scale rural traders in developing and emerging economies.Design/methodology/approachCross-border fish traders who had operated before and during the COVID-19 pandemic were interviewed in a survey conducted in Zambia and Malawi. Logistic regressions among male and female traders were employed to assess the gendered predictors.FindingsHeterogeneous effects in geographical location, skills, and knowledge were reported among male cross-border traders. Effects of household structure and composition significantly influenced the impact of COVID-19 among female traders. Surprisingly, membership in trade associations was associated with the high impact of COVID-19.Research limitations/implicationsDue to the COVID-19 pandemic and the migratory nature of cross-border fish traders, the population of cross-border fish traders at the time of the study was unknown and difficult to establish, cross-border fish traders (CBFT) at the landing sites and market areas were targeted for the survey without bias.Originality/valueThis paper addresses a gap in the literature on understanding gendered predictors of the impacts of COVID-19 among small-scale cross-border traders.
目的尽管文献强调了新冠肺炎的影响,但关于新冠肺炎对发展中经济体和新兴经济体小规模农村贸易商影响的性别决定因素的证据有限。在赞比亚和马拉维进行的一项调查中,采访了在新冠肺炎大流行之前和期间经营的跨界鱼类贸易商的设计/方法/方法。采用男性和女性交易员的Logistic回归来评估性别预测因素。发现据报道,男性跨境交易员在地理位置、技能和知识方面存在异质性影响。家庭结构和组成的影响显著影响新冠肺炎对女性贸易商的影响。令人惊讶的是,贸易协会的成员资格与新冠肺炎的高度影响有关。研究限制/影响由于新冠肺炎大流行和跨境鱼类贸易商的迁徙性质,研究时的跨境鱼类贸易商数量未知且难以确定,登陆点和市场区域的跨境鱼类贸易商(CBFT)是此次调查的目标,没有任何偏见。原创/价值本文解决了小规模跨境贸易商在理解新冠肺炎影响的性别预测因素方面的文献空白。

PurposeThis work examines the impact of institutional agricultural credit on crop productivity of some major crops such as paddy, cotton, wheat and pulses for small and marginal farmers across various social groups.Design/methodology/approachThe cross-sectional field data on socio economic variables was collected from three Indian states from about 400 small and marginal farmers across various social groups using multi-stage stratified random and purposive sampling through a structured questionnaire by interviewing. The method of propensity score matching (PSM) was employed to calculate average treatment effect (ATE) and average treatment effect on the treated (ATET) by categorising sample farmers as treatment group and control group where crop productivity was considered as outcome variable and access to institutional credit was considered as treatment variable.FindingsThe PSM estimates reveal that ATE and ATET for all the selected crops are found to be significantly higher for the treated group vis-à-vis non-treated group suggesting that institutional agricultural credit has a statistically and significant positive impact on the crop productivity.Research limitations/implicationsSimilar study can be extended for more crops and across regions in India for a universal coverage.Originality/valueThe agricultural credit policy of India has been to increase the access and availability of institutional farm credit. This has led to in general increase in the flow of formal farm credit to agricultural sector. However, the impact of institutional credit and crop productivity especially for small and marginal farmers across social groups is not well recognized in India using field data. Accordingly, this field data study contributes to the existing research by providing fresh evidence from field across social groups for both kharif and rabi crops using recent survey data from small and marginal farmers which has important policy implications.
本研究考察了机构农业信贷对不同社会群体的小农和边缘农民的水稻、棉花、小麦和豆类等主要作物生产力的影响。设计/方法/方法社会经济变量的横断面实地数据收集来自印度三个邦,来自不同社会群体的约400名小农和边缘农民,采用多阶段分层随机和有目的抽样,通过结构化问卷采访。采用倾向得分匹配(PSM)方法,将样本农民分为处理组和对照组,以作物生产力为结果变量,以获得机构信贷为处理变量,计算平均处理效果(ATE)和对被处理者的平均处理效果(ATET)。研究结果PSM估计显示,所有选定作物的ATE和ATET在处理组明显高于-à-vis未处理组,这表明机构农业信贷对作物生产力具有统计上显著的积极影响。研究的局限性/意义类似的研究可以扩展到印度更多的作物和地区,以实现普遍覆盖。印度的农业信贷政策一直是增加机构农业信贷的获取和可用性。这导致正规农业信贷流向农业部门的情况普遍增加。然而,机构信贷和作物生产力的影响,特别是对社会各群体的小农和边缘农民的影响,在印度没有很好地利用实地数据认识到。因此,这项实地数据研究通过利用来自小农和边缘农民的最新调查数据,提供来自不同社会群体的田间新证据,从而有助于现有的研究,这具有重要的政策意义。

Sei Jeong, M. Gopinath
PurposeThis study aims to investigate the role of international price volatility and inventories on domestic market price dynamics in the case of agricultural commodities.Design/methodology/approachA structural model is employed to uncover relationships among commodity price, price volatility, inventories and convenience yield. Monthly producer price data along with annual data on trade, consumption, inventories and tariffs for 71 countries and 13 commodities covering 2010–2019 are assembled to estimate the model. With a first-stage Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) estimator to identify the best instrument set, a nonlinear approach is used to estimate the model.FindingsResults show that international market information plays a critical role in domestic market price dynamics. International price volatility has a stronger effect on domestic prices than that of international inventories.Research limitations/implicationsCurrent upheaval in commodity markets requires an understanding of how prices move together and inventories affect that movement. A country's internal price is not independent of the effects of global market events.Originality/valueAlthough hypotheses exist that global market information (volatility and inventories) helps countries manage domestic commodity prices, there have been limited studies on this relationship, especially with a structured model and cross-country data.
目的本研究旨在探讨国际价格波动和库存对农产品国内市场价格动态的影响。设计/方法/方法采用结构模型来揭示商品价格、价格波动、库存和便利收益之间的关系。对2010-2011年71个国家和13种商品的月度生产者价格数据以及贸易、消费、库存和关税年度数据进行了汇总,以估计该模型。通过第一阶段最小绝对收缩和选择算子(LASSO)估计器来识别最佳工具集,使用非线性方法来估计模型。研究结果表明,国际市场信息在国内市场价格动态中起着至关重要的作用。与国际库存相比,国际价格波动对国内价格的影响更大。研究局限性/含义当前大宗商品市场的动荡需要了解价格如何共同波动,库存如何影响这种波动。一个国家的内部价格并不独立于全球市场事件的影响。原创性/价值尽管存在全球市场信息(波动性和库存)有助于各国管理国内商品价格的假设,但对这种关系的研究有限,尤其是在结构化模型和跨国数据的情况下。

Losses because of risk attitudes or time preference: off-farm cold storage and intertemporal marketing of apple growers in China 风险态度或时间偏好造成的损失:中国苹果种植者的农场外冷藏和跨期营销
IF 2.4 Q2 AGRICULTURAL ECONOMICS & POLICY Pub Date : 2022-09-09 DOI: 10.1108/jadee-02-2022-0030
Shaoze Jin, X. Jia, H. James
PurposeThis paper aims to explore the relationship between prudence in risk attitudes and patience of time preference of Chinese apple growers regarding off-farm cold storage of production and marketing in non-harvest seasons. The authors also consider the effect of farmer participation in cooperative-like organizations known as Farm Bases (FBs).Design/methodology/approachThe authors use multiple list methods and elicitation strategies to measure Chinese apple farmers' risk attitudes and time preferences. Because these farmers can either sell their apples immediately to supermarkets or intermediaries or place them in storage, the authors assess correlations between their storage decisions and their preferences regarding risk and time. The authors also differentiate risks involving gains and losses and empirically examine individual risk attitudes in different scenarios.FindingsMarketing decisions are moderately associated with risk attitudes but not time preference. Farmers with memberships in local farmer cooperatives are likely to speculate more in cold storage. Thus, risk aversion behavioral and psychological motives affect farmers' decision-making of cold storage and intertemporal marketing activities. However, membership in cooperatives does not always result in improved income and welfare for farmers.Research limitations/implicationsThe research confirms that behavioral factors may strongly drive vulnerable smallholder farmers to speculate into storage even under seasonal and uncertain marketing volatility.

目的探讨中国苹果种植户在非收获季节的风险态度审慎性与时间偏好耐心之间的关系。作者还考虑了农民参与合作型组织农场基地(FBs)的影响。设计/方法/方法作者使用多重列表法和启发策略来测量中国苹果农的风险态度和时间偏好。由于这些农民可以立即将苹果卖给超市或中介机构,也可以将苹果储存起来,因此作者评估了他们的储存决策与他们对风险和时间的偏好之间的相关性。作者还区分了涉及收益和损失的风险,并对不同情景下的个人风险态度进行了实证检验。营销决策与风险态度有一定的关系,但与时间偏好无关。拥有当地农民合作社会员资格的农民可能会在冷库中进行更多投机。由此可见,风险规避行为动机和心理动机影响着农户对冷藏和跨期营销活动的决策。然而,加入合作社并不总是能提高农民的收入和福利。研究的局限性/启示研究证实,行为因素可能强烈地驱使脆弱的小农投机储存,即使在季节性和不确定的市场波动下。有必要更深入地思考促进合作社和其他农业形式的理由,因为不经仔细考虑就强行推行这些形式可能会产生负面影响。风险和时间偏好影响农民使用仓储设施的决策?这个问题很重要,因为目前还不清楚风险偏好是否以及如何影响今天消费和明天储蓄之间的权衡,特别是对发展中国家的农民来说。

The authors also consider the effect of farmer participation in cooperative-like organizations known as Farm Bases (FBs).Design/methodology/approachThe authors use multiple list methods and elicitation strategies to measure Chinese apple farmers' risk attitudes and time preferences. Because these farmers can either sell their apples immediately to supermarkets or intermediaries or place them in storage, the authors assess correlations between their storage decisions and their preferences regarding risk and time. The authors also differentiate risks involving gains and losses and empirically examine individual risk attitudes in different scenarios.FindingsMarketing decisions are moderately associated with risk attitudes but not time preference. Farmers with memberships in local farmer cooperatives are likely to speculate more in cold storage. Thus, risk aversion behavioral and psychological motives affect farmers' decision-making of cold storage and intertemporal marketing activities. However, membership in cooperatives does not always result in improved income and welfare for farmers.Research limitations/implicationsThe research confirms that behavioral factors may strongly drive vulnerable smallholder farmers to speculate into storage even under seasonal and uncertain marketing volatility. There is the need to think deeper about the rationale of promoting cooperatives and other agricultural forms, because imposing these without careful consideration can have negative impacts.Originality/valueDo risk and time preferences affect the decision of farmers to utilize storage facilities?

PurposeThe authors assess the development potential of cowpea beyond grain in local markets in Mali by: (1) identifying trader types and types of cowpea products sold; (2) examining trader roles; (3) estimating gross margins and their determinants; and (4) discussing policy opportunities to further develop the value chain.Design/methodology/approachThe authors analyze data collected through observation and semi-structured questionnaires from 487 sellers in 26 markets, including market, seller, and product characteristics. The authors also calculate gross margins and conduct a regression analysis to identify influential factors.FindingsThe authors identify several types of cowpea sellers in local markets, including processor-retailers, retailers of fresh leaves and fodder, and grain retailers, collectors and wholesalers. Women dominate the marketing of processed products and fresh leaves. The marketing of boiled cowpeas offers retailers higher margin rates compared to fritters and pancakes. Grain sellers, who are mostly men, have lower margins but sell larger quantities. Processor-retailers bring more value to the cowpea value chain. Specialization of the seller in cowpea, regional location of the market and day of the market fair all influence gross margins.Research limitations/implicationsFuture work should explore consumer preferences for different types of cowpea products.Originality/valueThis study of the cowpea value chain in Mali has revealed the multidimensional character of the cowpea plant, which goes far beyond its grain and highlight the important roles played by women.
目的作者通过以下方式评估了豇豆在马里当地市场的发展潜力:(1)确定贸易商类型和销售的豇豆产品类型;(2) 审查交易员角色;(3) 估计毛利率及其决定因素;以及(4)讨论进一步发展价值链的政策机遇。设计/方法论/方法作者分析了通过观察和半结构化问卷从26个市场的487名卖家那里收集的数据,包括市场、卖家和产品特征。作者还计算了毛利率,并进行了回归分析,以确定影响因素。发现作者确定了当地市场上的几种类型的豇豆销售商,包括加工商零售商、新鲜叶子和饲料零售商,以及谷物零售商、收集者和批发商。妇女主导着加工产品和新鲜树叶的营销。与油条和煎饼相比,煮豇豆的营销为零售商提供了更高的利润率。谷物销售商大多是男性,他们的利润率较低,但销售量较大。加工商零售商为豇豆价值链带来更多价值。豇豆销售商的专业化、市场的区域位置和集市的日期都会影响毛利率。研究局限性/含义未来的工作应该探索消费者对不同类型豇豆产品的偏好。独创性/价值这项对马里豇豆价值链的研究揭示了豇豆植物的多维特征,它远远超出了其谷物范围,并突出了妇女所发挥的重要作用。

PurposeWith the empirical evidence on the purchase behaviour of tinned tomatoes, food labelling and the safety consciousness of consumers in Ghana were examined.Design/methodology/approachPrimary data were obtained from 130 consumers. Descriptive statistics, factor analysis and multinomial probit analysis were applied.FindingsConsumers use tinned tomatoes for cooking because of its easy accessibility in nearby shops, guaranteed constant supply, attractive package, it being affordable/cheaper, its better colour, advertisement/promotion, and longer shelf life. There is a low level of food safety consciousness among consumers since only one-fifth read labels on tinned tomatoes very often, and one-fifth do not read labels at all. Consumers frequently check on tinned tomatoes' most essential information: brand/type, manufacturing and expiry dates, and weight/volume. Age, residential status, contact information, nutritional benefits and affordability influence the choice of retail brand of tinned tomatoes. The health label consumer segment and conventional label consumer segment were identified, with the majority being the former.Research limitations/implicationsThe sample size used for the study could be improved in terms of number and geographical coverage. This is because the study was limited to only one main urbanised area in Ghana. Therefore, it will be worthwhile for a further study to be conducted by comparing urban and rural consumers in Ghana and other countries within Africa, to either validate or reveal a different trajectory of consumer behaviour relevant to marketing, policy and practice.Originality/valueTomato paste (tinned tomatoes) is consumed in almost all homes in Africa, but there are food scare concerns about tinned tomatoes due to reported cases of adulteration with unhealthy materials such as starch and food colour, leading to negative health implications on consumers. This makes the reading of tinned tomato labels very crucial. Thus, it is of policy relevance to investigate consumers' reading behaviour of label information on tinned tomatoes in Ghana. However, previous studies on food labelling focussed on food and nutrition labelling and implications of food labelling on consumers' purchase behaviour, with most of them outside Africa.
目的通过对加纳罐装西红柿购买行为的实证研究,对食品标签和消费者的安全意识进行了调查。设计/方法/方法主要数据来自130名消费者。采用描述性统计、因子分析和多项概率分析。消费者使用罐装西红柿做饭,因为它很容易在附近的商店买到,保证持续供应,有吸引力的包装,价格实惠/便宜,颜色更好,有广告/促销,保质期更长。消费者的食品安全意识很低,因为只有五分之一的人经常阅读罐装西红柿上的标签,五分之一的人根本不阅读标签。消费者经常查询罐装番茄的最基本信息:品牌/类型、生产和有效期、重量/体积。年龄、居住状况、联系方式、营养价值和可负担性影响着人们对罐装番茄零售品牌的选择。确定了健康标签消费者群体和传统标签消费者群体,以前者占多数。研究的局限/意义本研究的样本量可在数量和地理覆盖方面加以改进。这是因为这项研究仅限于加纳的一个主要城市化地区。因此,通过比较加纳和非洲其他国家的城市和农村消费者来验证或揭示与营销、政策和实践相关的消费者行为的不同轨迹,将是值得进行进一步研究的。原创性/价值在非洲几乎所有家庭都消费番茄酱(罐装西红柿),但由于有报道称罐装西红柿掺入了淀粉和食用色素等不健康材料,从而对消费者的健康产生负面影响,因此存在对食品恐慌的担忧。这就使得阅读罐装番茄的标签变得至关重要。因此,调查消费者对加纳罐装西红柿标签信息的阅读行为具有政策相关性。然而,以前关于食品标签的研究主要集中在食品和营养标签以及食品标签对消费者购买行为的影响,这些研究大多在非洲以外进行。

Cashew contract farming in Ghana: implications on farm performance and household welfare 加纳腰果合同农业:对农场绩效和家庭福利的影响

PurposeEfforts to reduce farmers' market risks and improve buyers' access to farm commodities have encouraged contract farming (CF) in Ghana's cashew sector in recent years. Consequently, the existence of CF shows that farmers who use it may be benefiting from it, as it is their economic responsibility to decide how to sell agricultural products. However, the magnitudes of these benefits or otherwise have been inadequately explored. This paper aims to empirically estimate the impact of CF on farm performance and welfare of smallholder cashew farmers.Design/methodology/approachThe study used probit-two-stage least square (probit-2sls) as a primary estimator to account for self-selection bias and endogeneity that could arise from both observed and unobserved heterogeneities among farming households to estimate the causal effects of CF on farm performance and household welfare.FindingsThe results indicated that participation in CF contribute significantly to the gains in farm performance (price margins, yields and net farm revenue) and welfare (consumption expenditure per capita), and that the non-participants of CF would have benefited substantially if they had participated. An analysis of the farm size disaggregated into small, medium and large with regards to the outcome variables produces mixed results.Research limitations/implicationsIt can be concluded that participating in CF enhances farm performance and household welfare.Originality/valueWhile many other studies do not account for changes in farm performance and welfare due to differences in farm size or other observed factors, this study fills a crucial void.
目的近年来,减少农民市场风险和改善买家获得农产品的机会的努力鼓励了加纳腰果部门的合同农业(CF)。因此,CF的存在表明,使用它的农民可能会从中受益,因为决定如何销售农产品是他们的经济责任。然而,这些利益的大小或其他方面尚未得到充分探讨。本文旨在实证评估CF对腰果小农经营绩效和福利的影响。本研究使用probit-two-stage最小二乘(probit-2sls)作为主要估计量,以解释农户之间观察到的和未观察到的异质性可能产生的自我选择偏差和内生性,以估计CF对农场绩效和家庭福利的因果影响。研究结果表明,参与农业资源共享对农场绩效(价格边际、产量和农场净收入)和福利(人均消费支出)的提高有显著贡献,而非农业资源共享参与者如果参与,也会受益匪浅。根据结果变量对农场规模分为小型、中型和大型的分析得出了不同的结果。研究的局限性/启示可以得出结论,参与农业生产可以提高农场绩效和家庭福利。原创性/价值虽然许多其他研究没有考虑由于农场规模或其他观察到的因素的差异而导致的农场绩效和福利的变化,但本研究填补了一个至关重要的空白。
