Abstract

Market access offers opportunities for technology adoption, productivity gains, and welfare improvement. Yet, small-scale producers in developing countries sell less than a quarter of their production in the market. The role of bundled interventions combining rural infrastructures, particularly farm-to-market roads, with access to extension and credit to improve market access remains insufficiently explored. This study investigates the impact of such bundled intervention on market participation and livelihood outcomes of small-scale producers in the Philippines. Results indicate higher market participation and income for treatment households, with a more pronounced impact among those near farm-to-market roads constructed by the project. Findings underscore the importance of implementing interventions that combine production support with infrastructure development to support the livelihoods of small-scale producers in remote areas.

为改善菲律宾小规模生产者的市场准入提供培训、信贷和基础设施

市场准入为技术采用、生产率提高和福利改善提供了机会。然而，发展中国家的小规模生产者在市场上销售的产品不到其产品的四分之一。捆绑式干预措施的作用，特别是将农村基础设施，特别是从农场到市场的道路，与获得扩展和信贷的机会结合起来，以改善市场准入，仍然没有得到充分的探索。本研究调查了这种捆绑干预对菲律宾小规模生产者的市场参与和生计结果的影响。结果表明，治疗户的市场参与度和收入都有所提高，其中在项目建设的农场到市场道路附近的影响更为明显。调查结果强调了实施将生产支持与基础设施发展相结合的干预措施的重要性，以支持偏远地区小规模生产者的生计。

期刊介绍： Food Policy is a multidisciplinary journal publishing original research and novel evidence on issues in the formulation, implementation, and evaluation of policies for the food sector in developing, transition, and advanced economies. Our main focus is on the economic and social aspect of food policy, and we prioritize empirical studies informing international food policy debates. Provided that articles make a clear and explicit contribution to food policy debates of international interest, we consider papers from any of the social sciences. Papers from other disciplines (e.g., law) will be considered only if they provide a key policy contribution, and are written in a style which is accessible to a social science readership.
