Consumers now have access to a wide array of products and services, especially with the aid of e-commerce. Additionally, companies can analyse consumer behaviour and gain a deeper understanding of their habits with the assistance of e-commerce or social media. The objective of this research is to ascertain the factors that impact consumers' intention to buy agricultural products. In April 2022, we performed an online consumer survey among 200 internet shoppers in Jakarta, Indonesia. The data was then analyzed using the WarpPLS software and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Our research showed that among the respondents, women, with an average age of 20–25 accounted for nearly 60% of respondents who purchased agricultural produce online in Jakarta. Moreover, SEM-PLS method revealed that the following factors had highly significant effects on consumers' purchasing intention to buy agricultural products in Indonesia: consumer behavior, subjective norms, demographic variables, time savings, and convenience. In light of these findings, it offers valuable technical and practical implications for agribusiness management and policymakers.","PeriodicalId":488638,"journal":{"name":"Research on World Agricultural Economy","volume":"10 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141099113","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite numerous support programs, traditional extension approaches and limited access to technology hinder success. The main objective of this article is to discuss how China's Science and Technology Backyard (STB) model can be adopted in African contexts as a viable solution. The STB model, proven successful in China, directly addresses the disconnection between scientists and farmers through direct collaboration in crop fields. The authors first summarize insights from the implementation of the STB model in China and then propose strategies for its adoption in Africa. The subsequent comparative analysis, combined with three case studies, shows that the STB model, which emphasizes farmer-centered innovations, has the potential to bridge knowledge gaps, enhance productivity, and stimulate rural development in Africa despite resource constraints. Finally, the authors note that strategic investments in infrastructure, coordination among stakeholders, and acknowledging associated costs are critical for the successful implementation of the STB model. Simply put, the authors believe the STB model can greatly enhance African smallholders' farming productivity, but before the model can successfully serve its functions, involved stakeholders should ensure all supporting conditions are provided.","PeriodicalId":488638,"journal":{"name":"Research on World Agricultural Economy","volume":"350 11‐12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141006863","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This supports small farms in commercializing and meeting the growing global demand for better and more diverse food choices. India is also experiencing an increase in Farmer Producer Originations (FPOs), crucial in enhancing economic opportunities for small and marginal farmers. FPOs provide a host of services to members, like input supply, procurement, marketing, technical services, financial services, etc. The study delves into the existing literature and policy landscape surrounding FPOs and their role in the economic development of small and marginal farmers in India. This study also analyses the problems and obstacles concerning the growth of FPOs and provides a future direction. Twenty semi-structured interviews were conducted with leaders of the FPOs to understand the background, issues, future goals and member expectations. The results suggest that lack of working capital, poor management, absence of skilled professionals, and dependency on external agencies are the significant problems FPOs face; there is also a need for proactive government support. There needs to be more literature concerning the auxiliary services of FPOs. As the Indian government plans to add ten thousand FPOs in the next few years, the government needs to address the issues regarding lack of working capital, develop a comprehensive database of FPOs, establish performance metrics and determinants, provide management skill assistance, streamline licensing procedures, and foster social capital building initiatives. This research sheds light on the potential of FPOs to empower small and marginal farmers and suggests vital measures for the effective implementation and sustainable growth of these organizations.","PeriodicalId":488638,"journal":{"name":"Research on World Agricultural Economy","volume":"24 23","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140084382","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
