Abstract

PurposeThis paper examined the factors influencing the participation of rice processors in short supply chains and the participation impact on the amount of rice processed, per capita expenditure of household and value of sales.Design/methodology/approachThe Seemingly Unrelated Regression and Doubly Robust Augmented Inverse Probability Weighting Model (AIPW) were used to analyse the determinants of short supply chain participation and the impact of short supply.FindingsFrom the results, the mean value of rice processed was GH₵18385 (US$ 3,069.28), with the minimum value being GH₵ 25 (US$ 4.17) and the maximum GH₵ 67200 (US$ 1,1218.70) per annum. Processed rice aroma and grade characteristics positively influence the value of processed rice sold via short supply chains as well as the expertise rate of the processor, Farmer-Based Organisation membership, and marketing information availability. Women rice processors' per capita expenditure, total sales value and the value of processed rice was positively influenced by the short supply chain participation.Research limitations/implicationsEven though the sample size was appropriate, a larger sample size could further support the study's finding since a limited geographical area with predominant domestic rice processors was studied. Again, future studies should consider behavioural theories, such as the Theory of Planned Behaviour, amongst others, in understanding the reasons for the choices of short supply chains compared to other sales outlets.Originality/valueAlthough there is a growing body of literature on rice, most of the studies focussed on the marketing outlet of rice producers, rice processing, constraints and opportunities faced by rice farmers and processors and an out-grower scheme involving rice processors amongst rice producers with none of these on the choice of short supply chains amongst women processors. Also, amongst all the studies on rice producers, none applied a theory; however, the Women in Development (WID) Theory was used to analyse the impact of the short supply chain on the impact on household per capita expenditure (poverty), the value of sales and amount of rice processed, a modest theoretical contribution of the paper to literature.
加纳农村大米加工商的短供应链选择及其影响
目的研究影响大米加工企业参与短供应链的因素,以及参与对大米加工量、家庭人均支出和销售额的影响。设计/方法/方法采用看似不相关回归和双鲁棒增广逆概率加权模型(AIPW)来分析短供应链参与的决定因素和供应短缺的影响。从结果来看,加工大米的平均值为GH / 18385(3,069.28美元),最小值为GH / 25(4.17美元),最大值为GH / 67200(1,1218.70美元)/年。加工大米的香气和等级特征对通过短供应链销售的加工大米的价值、加工者的专业程度、农民组织成员资格和营销信息的可用性都有积极影响。女性大米加工者的人均支出、销售总额和加工大米的价值受到短供应链参与的积极影响。研究的局限性/意义虽然样本量是适当的,但更大的样本量可以进一步支持研究的发现,因为研究的是一个有限的地理区域,国内大米加工占主导地位。同样,未来的研究应该考虑行为理论,如计划行为理论等,以理解与其他销售渠道相比,选择短供应链的原因。原创性/价值虽然关于大米的文献越来越多,但大多数研究都集中在大米生产者的销售渠道、大米加工、水稻农民和加工商面临的限制和机会,以及涉及大米生产者中的大米加工商的种植者外计划,而这些研究都没有涉及妇女加工商的短供应链选择。此外,在所有关于水稻生产者的研究中,没有一个应用理论;然而,妇女参与发展(WID)理论被用于分析供应链短缺对家庭人均支出(贫困)、销售价值和大米加工数量的影响,这是本文对文献的适度理论贡献。
