This paper aims to provide an in-depth understanding of the price formation process for cocoa at each stage of the supply chain in the world's largest cocoa-producing country. By examining potential inefficiencies that affect price pass-through and could explain exceptionally low farm-gate prices, the study seeks to identify segments of the supply chain where policy or market interventions could improve outcomes for farmers. Our approach couples econometric analyses using secondary cocoa price data and primary farm household survey data with qualitative assessments of institutional factors specific to the cocoa value chain in Côte d'Ivoire. Notwithstanding the country's highly regulated system of setting cocoa prices, we do not find evidence of inefficiencies that would explain persistently low farm-gate prices. Nor do we find that the recently introduced ‘Living Income Differential’, a price surcharge on internationally traded cocoa, has benefited farmers. We conclude by advocating that the international cocoa industry strengthens its development programmes in cocoa-growing communities, and that the government supports these efforts with better provision of infrastructure and other public goods. Such efforts could ultimately serve to increase the opportunity cost of cocoa production, drawing farmers into other employment sectors while improving the resilience and livelihoods of those who remain.</p>","PeriodicalId":14994,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Agricultural Economics","volume":"77 2","pages":"411-428"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2026-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1477-9552.70021","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146042522","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study provides the first causal evaluation of a national programme designed to promote these dual objectives in the cattle sector.

The intervention significantly increased the application of reproductive and herd management practices, specifically early weaning, controlled mating, and ovarian activity diagnosis, without generating shifts in the other measured outcomes by the 2020 horizon. These results highlight both the potential and the limitations of integrated technology transfer programmes in promoting sustainable intensification of extensive livestock systems.

To address these challenges, we propose a set of best practices to enhance the transparency, comparability, standardisation, and reusability of farmer survey data.

This study investigates how Chinese citizens perceive retaliatory tariffs on US agricultural products and explores how awareness of economic self-interest shapes their support for such policies. We develop a simple theoretical model showing that trade policy attitudes are shaped by both social values and economic beliefs, with the influence of new information moderated by trust and cognitive capacity. The model predicts that information interventions can recalibrate beliefs towards actual economic interests, with effects varying by information credibility and individual human capital. Employing a randomised controlled trial in 2023, we demonstrate that backing for trade protection in China is robustly associated with collectivist values. Individuals demonstrate a strong propensity of alignment with government positions over economic self-interests. However, when people learn about how tariffs will personally affect their household costs, they become less supportive of trade protection because they revise their expectations about economic consequences. Notably, the efficacy of these interventions depends critically on the respondents' trust in information and their level of human capital.
