Abstract

BCT adoption remains to be a promising way to achieve food security and safety in many developing countries. This paper explores the impact of blockchain technology adoption on household farm income. Based on a simple random sampling method, a cross sectional survey was conducted in the year 2023 to collect data from 240 sample farmers including 120 BCT adopters and 120 non-adopters in Erode district of Tamil Nadu. The information regarding socio-economic profiles like age, gender, educational status, farming experience, farm size, extension agency contact, training programmes attended, access to technological information were collected from sample farmers through personal interviews. The present research used a treatment effect analysis with propensity score matching approach to assess the impact of blockchain technology adoption on household’s farm income. Results showed a significant increase in farm income as a result of blockchain technology adoption among sample farmers. PSM approach estimated that the blockchain technology adopters earned higher farm income of ₹25829.16 as compared to non-adopters. Hence the findings provide empirical evidence that blockchain technology adoption in agriculture can contribute to improve quality food production and enhance farm income.

区块链技术对FPO成员农场的影响

在许多发展中国家，采用BCT仍然是实现粮食安全和安全的一种有希望的方式。本文探讨了采用区块链技术对家庭农场收入的影响。采用简单随机抽样方法，于2023年对泰米尔纳德邦罗德县240名样本农民进行了横断面调查，其中120名采用BCT的农民和120名未采用BCT的农民进行了数据收集。通过个人访谈从样本农民中收集有关社会经济概况的信息，如年龄、性别、教育状况、耕作经验、农场规模、与推广机构的联系、参加的培训计划、获得技术信息的机会。本研究使用倾向得分匹配方法进行治疗效果分析，以评估采用区块链技术对家庭农业收入的影响。结果显示，由于样本农民采用区块链技术，农业收入显着增加。PSM方法估计，与非采用者相比，区块链技术采用者的农业收入更高，为25829.16卢比。因此，研究结果提供了经验证据，证明在农业中采用区块链技术有助于提高粮食生产质量和增加农业收入。
