Excerpt from Vertical Coordination Via Contract Farming The middle or on-farm production phase, which is the center of attention in contract farming, was also the center of attention in the analysis. The farm production phase may be coordinated via contract backward with acquisition of inputs or forward with selling of products, or in both directions.3 Whether farm decision making under contract pro duction tends to shift toward the supplier of inputs, or the buyer of outputs, or re mains with the farmer, depends on circum stances. In the early development of con tracting in the broiler industry, for example, the supplier of inputs usually was the key decision maker. But as contracting expanded into other phases of the whole production process, decision making was shifted toward the processor or marketer of broilers. The farm firm, as a separate production unit, buys or otherwise gains control over inputs, creates new products with them, and sells the resulting output. In contract farming, the farm firm is concerned chiefly with what takes place on the farm in the overall production process, and the con tracting off-farm firm is concerned chiefly with supplying inputs to or accepting out puts from the farm firm or both. In this report, the word Contractor is used to indicate the off-farm firm and the word Farmer is used to indicate the farm firm.

In recent decades contract farming has emerged as a popular mechanism to encourage vertical coordination in developing country agriculture. The goal of such coordination is to better integrate smallholder farmers into the modern agricultural food system, fostering rural transformation. We use panel data from a randomized control trial to quantify the impact of different contract attributes on rural transformation and welfare of smallholder rice farmers in Benin. We vary the terms of contract, with some farmers being offered a contract that only guarantees a price, while other contracts add extension training or input loans. While all three types of contracts had positive and significant effects, we find that contracts which only included an agreement on price had nearly as large of an impact as did contracts with additional attributes. This suggests that once price uncertainty is resolved, farmers are able to address other constraints on their own.

This book aims to typify the extent to which contract farming is helping small farmers to access markets and meet increasingly stringent requirements, not only of "modern" food manufacturers, retailers, exporters and food service firms,by also in non-food sectors such as biofuels and forestry. It also seeks to clarify differences in the functionality of contracts depending on commodity, market, technology, public policies and country circumstances. Conceptual issues are discussed and a series of case study appraisals based on real world examples from developing regions are presented. The issuesraised by the case study authors and the key messages synthesized in the initial book chapter bring new insights and contributions to further enrich knowledge on contract farming as a tool for inclusive market access in development countries.
