Abstract

Access to an agricultural market information system (AMIS) is essential to reduce farmers' risk from market speculation related to information asymmetry. However, AMIS's sustainability depends on the users' needs and willingness to pay (WTP) for market information. This paper explores the WTP for market information among market-oriented farmers, as well as its determinants. Data were collected through a structured survey with 479 farmers. A contingent dichotomous choice dual boundary estimation is used to measure WTP and a logistic regression is used to ascertain the main determinants of the stated WTP. Experienced losses, access to market information, use of non-virtual means of information, and degree of farm specialization are the main determinants of the WTP. These findings are useful for establishing a feasible AMIS, and designing its services according to the characteristics, needs, capacities and preferences of the identified potential users.

农业市场信息:有多少人愿意为此付费?
农业市场信息系统(AMIS)对于降低农民因信息不对称而产生的市场投机风险至关重要。然而,农业市场信息系统的可持续性取决于用户对市场信息的需求和支付意愿(WTP)。本文探讨了以市场为导向的农民对市场信息的支付意愿及其决定因素。数据是通过对 479 位农民进行结构性调查收集的。本文采用或然二分选择双边界估计法来测量 WTP,并采用逻辑回归法来确定 WTP 的主要决定因素。经验损失、市场信息的获取、非虚拟信息手段的使用以及农业专业化程度是 WTP 的主要决定因素。这些发现有助于建立可行的农业信息管理系统,并根据已确定的潜在用户的特点、需求、能力和偏好设计其服务。
