Abstract

PurposeThis paper aims to examine the level of market participation of coffee processors and the factors that influence their intensity of market participation for processed coffee in Uganda.Design/methodology/approachThis paper studies dry processing of coffee using survey data from purposively selected sample of 120 coffee processors in Uganda. The study utilizes descriptive analysis and Tobit regression approach.FindingsThis paper finds the level of participation of coffee processors in the sale of processed coffee at 77.8 percent in Uganda. The findings demonstrate that the intensity of market participation of coffee processors is positively and significantly influenced by Kiboko sales revenue, location, experience of the processor, number of visits by Uganda Coffee Development Authority and processor mill capacity. However, credit access and non-farm income negatively and significantly deterred their intensity of market participation.Research limitations/implicationsThe paper shows that there is more potential for coffee processors to increase their intensity of market participation given their current capacity for coffee processing. Therefore, insights on production efficiency and market orientation in coffee value chains would be an issue for future studies.Social implicationsThe study has a direct implication on the economy through supportive institutions and increased investment in the value addition of coffee to meet the increasing regional and global demand for processed coffee.Originality/valueThis paper bridges the gap in literature on commercialization of coffee processing, allows to determine processors' level of market participation and with application of Tobit regression approach to quantify the effects of the factors that influence the intensity of market participation in coffee value chains in Uganda.
影响乌干达咖啡加工商市场参与强度的因素
目的研究乌干达咖啡加工商的市场参与水平以及影响其加工咖啡市场参与强度的因素。本研究采用描述性分析和托比特回归方法。调查结果本文发现,在乌干达,咖啡加工商参与加工咖啡销售的比例为77.8%。研究结果表明,Kiboko的销售收入、地点、加工商的经验、乌干达咖啡发展局的访问次数和加工厂的能力对咖啡加工商的市场参与强度产生了积极而显著的影响。然而,信贷准入和非农收入对他们的市场参与强度产生了负面影响。研究局限性/含义论文表明,鉴于咖啡加工厂目前的咖啡加工能力,咖啡加工厂更有可能提高市场参与强度。因此,深入了解咖啡价值链的生产效率和市场导向将是未来研究的一个问题。社会影响这项研究通过支持性机构和增加对咖啡增值的投资来满足地区和全球对加工咖啡日益增长的需求,对经济产生了直接影响。独创性/价值本文弥补了有关咖啡加工商业化的文献空白,确定了加工商的市场参与水平,并应用托比特回归方法量化了影响乌干达咖啡价值链市场参与强度的因素的影响。
