Abstract

This study assesses the exploratory factors for household participation in contract farming and its relationship with farm income. We use instrumental variable models. Survey data collected under the Agricultural Policy Support Project (PAPA) in 2017 are used. Two results are obtained. The first result indicates that the exploratory factors for participation in contract farming are identified as gender, level of education, agro-ecological zone, access to credit, agricultural insurance, agricultural advice, and the share of contract farming in the commune. The second result shows the importance of participating in contract farming in that it is positively correlated with household welfare through improved income.

塞内加尔承包农业对家庭收入的影响

本研究评估农户参与契约农业的探索性因素及其与农场收入的关系。我们使用工具变量模型。本文使用了2017年农业政策支持项目（PAPA）下收集的调查数据。得到两个结果。第一个结果表明，参与合同农业的探索性因素被确定为性别、教育水平、农业生态区、信贷获取、农业保险、农业咨询和合同农业在公社中的份额。第二个结果显示了参与合同农业的重要性，因为它通过提高收入与家庭福利呈正相关。相关文章J.
