摘要

食用昆虫价值链有望为撒哈拉以南非洲的可持续粮食和营养安全、减贫和创造就业做出贡献。然而,关于食用昆虫价值链中游参与者的战略商业决策的实证证据很少。本研究通过分析影响零售商战略商业决策的因素,即供应商的选择、购买的产品、采购策略和在乌干达中部蚱蜢价值链中购买的产品数量,填补了这一知识空白。使用从乌干达中部两个地区随机选择的500家零售商收集的主要数据集,Cragg的tobit替代和二元概率模型应用于实证分析。零售商主要从批发商和收藏家那里采购蚱蜢产品。研究表明,人口、经济、交易和加工相关因素显著影响零售商在蚱蜢市场的战略商业决策。在商业管理实践和集体行动中发展零售商的人力资本对于使他们能够在农业食品链中做出明智的战略商业决策非常重要。

Strategic business decisions of retailers in the edible insect value chain in Uganda
Edible insect value chains are expected to contribute to sustainable food and nutrition security, poverty alleviation and job creation in Sub-Saharan Africa. However, there is little empirical evidence on the strategic business decisions of midstream-actors in edible insect value chain. This study fills this knowledge gap by analysing the factors that influence retailers’ strategic business decisions, that is, choices of supplier, product to purchase, procurement strategy and the quantity of product purchased in the grasshopper value chain in central Uganda. Using a primary dataset collected from 500 randomly selected retailers from two districts in central Uganda, Cragg’s tobit alternative and binary probit models are applied in the empirical analysis. Retailers mainly procure grasshopper products from wholesalers and collectors. The study shows that demographic, economic, transactional and processing-related factors significantly influence retailers’ strategic business decisions in the grasshopper markets. Developing retailers’ human capital in business management practices and collective action is important to enable them to make informed strategic business decisions in the agrifood chain.
