Conditions for Improving the Position of Small-Scale Food Producers in Food Supply System

Original language description

There is an obvious necessity of well-functioning small food producers. They play an important role of agricultural sector. The efficiency of small farms fluctuates significantly and depends on plenty of factors. One of the most important aspects determining the efficiency of their production activity is the price of their production. Due to a strong imbalance in market power and bargaining power along food supply chain, small farms can be particularly affected. They can be a victim of unfairly low price for their production, late payments, imposing additional fees or deductions and other unfair trade practices. The recent research on unfair trade practices opens a question of possible benefits in using blockchain technology and other digital solutions in the food supply chain. This may help to eliminate such practices and protect weaker party of the contractual relationship to bring promising result in particularly more sustainable position on the market. It can also lead to a better functioning of food producers and the whole food supply chain. So far the topic is very pioneering and rare in the scientific literature. The aim of this paper is to determine the ways of possible elimination of given actual issue as well as to improve efficiency of family and small-scale producers in the food supply chain relying on the practical information of some farms obtained during the research .
