How intermediaries' power affects contract farming decisions: evidence from the medicinal and aromatic plant sector in Albania
Original language description
Purpose In the debate on rural development, contract farming (CF) is pointed out as a mechanism that reduces constraints on farmers access to resources and improves farmers welfare. However, the role of intermediaries power in farmers contracting decisions has not been investigated thoroughly. Considering that intermediaries power affects farmers businesses, livelihoods, risk and profit sharing, it becomes imperative to understand its effects on contracting decisions. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to investigate the dimensions over which intermediaries exercise the power they hold over farmers and how these power dimensions influence farmers participation in CF. Design/methodology/approach A survey was conducted in the leading Albanian MAP production region, Malesi e Madhe, with 168 sage producers interviewed using a structured questionnaire. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) is employed to develop measures for the latent variables of the study (e.g. intermediaries power), and a logit regression
