摘要

农业资源生产力很低;特别是在发展中国家,在脆弱的土地上共同生产,以小规模自给农业为特点。农业商业化通过在农村地区创造收入,为农户提供了一种减轻贫困和粮食不安全的手段。本文旨在确定影响埃塞俄比亚南部西尔蒂地区小农番茄作物商业化的因素。采用结构化和非结构化问卷调查和焦点小组讨论的方式,从研究区域指定地点随机选择175名受访者收集数据。采用描述性统计和heckman两阶段模型对收集到的数据进行分析。第一阶段Heckman选择估计(probit regression)模型结果显示,教育程度、外延接触频率、市场距离、市场协议和滞后价格对小农商业化决策有显著影响。在Heckman选择估计的第二阶段,家庭规模、受教育程度、番茄生产用地分配、农业推广接触频率、到最近市场的距离、生产力、滞后价格和逆磨比显著影响番茄商品化水平。因此,研究建议有必要针对上述因素设计适当的干预机制,以提高番茄作物的商业化性能。

Determinants of Smallholder Commercialization of Tomato Crop in Siltie Zone, Southern Ethiopia
The productivity of agricultural resources was very low; especially in the developing world where production is common on fragile lands and characterized by small-scale subsistence farming. Commercialization of agriculture provides farm households with a means to alleviate poverty and food insecurity by generating incomes in the rural areas. This paper aims to identify factors affecting commercialization of tomato crop by smallholder farmers in Siltie Zone, Southern Ethiopia. Both structured and unstructured questionnaires and Focus Group Discussion were used to collect data from 175 respondents randomly selected from designated locations in the study area. Descriptive statistics and heckman two stage models were used to analyze the collected data. According to first stage Heckman selection estimation (probit regression) model result, Education, frequency of extension contact, distance to market, market agreement and lagged price played a significant role in smallholder commercialization decision. In the second-stage of Heckman selection estimation family size, education, land allocated for tomato production, frequency of agricultural extension contact, distance to nearest market, productivity, lagged price and inverse mill’s ratio were significantly affect level of tomato commercialization. Thus, the study recommends the need for designing appropriate intervention mechanisms focusing on the abovementioned factors so as to improve the performance of tomato crop commercialization.
