Contract farming and the adoption of sustainable farm practices: Empirical evidence from cashew farmers in Ghana

Caroline Dubbert et al.

Summary: Contract farming can increase agricultural productivity and welfare of farmers in developing countries, but its potential environmental effects have been understudied. Using a marginal treatment effects approach, this study finds significant heterogeneity in the impact of contract farming on the intensity of sustainable farm practice use, with farmers having a high propensity to participate in contract farming being less likely to adopt sustainable farm practices.

The Competitiveness, Bargaining Power, and Contract Choice in Agricultural Water Markets in Pakistan: Implications for Price Discrimination and Environmental Sustainability

Amar Razzaq et al.

Summary: Pakistan is facing water scarcity, leading to the emergence of informal groundwater markets where farmers trade water. This study examines the structure and implications of contractual agreements in these markets. The findings suggest that the water markets in Pakistan are relatively competitive, with different contracts being common in water-scarce regions and areas with large farmers. The bargaining power of buyers and the landholding size of sellers influence the contract choice. Price discrimination is also observed, where long-term customers may receive discounts. These findings have implications for environmental sustainability.

Ibrahim Bahati et al.

Summary: This study provides insights into the commercialization process of smallholder agriculture through sugarcane contract farming in Uganda's Bunyoro sub-region. The findings highlight the adverse effects of the wave of contract farming schemes around sugar, which integrate rural farmers into unequal contractual relations and expand the agro-extractivist search for cheap land and labor, rather than promoting inclusive rural development.

The effect of contract farming on the environmentally sustainable production of rice in China

Yanjun Ren et al.

Summary: Participation in contract farming has been shown to increase environmentally sustainable production behaviors among farmers, such as the use of environmentally friendly control technologies and organic fertilizers. While it may lead to higher production costs, the benefits from increased sale prices and farmers' overall income contribute to the positive impact of contract farming on environmentally sustainable production.

Summary: Debates on gender and land commodification highlight the loss of land rights, increased demands on women's labor, and decreased decision-making control for them.
