Empirical microlevel studies in agricultural economics usually address this question from a household or farmer perspective, neglecting the broader socio‐institutional and economic context against which varietal dissemination takes place. In the present study, we explore the relationship between wheat seed delivery networks and varietal turnover, using data from farmers' fields in eastern India. An extensive survey encompassing 7648 wheat farmers was conducted to capture wheat production practices across 31 districts of Bihar and 9 districts of eastern Uttar Pradesh. Additional qualitative interviews led to the initial impression that farmers' selection of varieties often precedes their choice of seed source, challenging the prevailing assumptions about the causal direction of this relationship. To address the challenge of reverse causality between varietal selection and seed source preference, we employed an instrumental variable regression framework. Although new wheat varieties are available in the market, a substantial majority of farmers opt for old ones. Farmers' decisions regarding the selection of wheat varieties and seed sources are not straightforward, and their preference for wheat varieties significantly impacts their seed source selection, indicating a hitherto unexplored bidirectional relationship. Understanding this complex relationship has significant strategic implications for stakeholders in the seed supply system, offering policy recommendations for enhancing varietal turnover rates and encouraging the widespread adoption of new, improved varieties among smallholders. Such initiatives hold the promise of enhancing system resilience and food security in developing countries.

We compared three groups of farmers: nonadopters, those adopting SAPs and using chemical pesticides, and those adopting SAPs in the pesticide‐free mode. The study data covered 1912 rural households in Burkina Faso for the 2016–2017 agricultural season. We used an endogenous frontier model and a matching method to address sample selection for both observables and unobservables. The results show that the adoption of pesticide‐free SAPs reduces technical inefficiency compared with the practice of adopting SAPs with pesticides and nonadoption of SAPs. However, our findings show that compared with the nonadoption of SAPs, adoption of SAPs with chemical pesticides did not have a significant effect on technical efficiency. For more efficient and sustainable agriculture, policies should further promote SAPs while advancing biological pest management techniques, as opposed to the use of chemical pesticides.

In Ghana, two main categories dominate the market: live/fresh whole chickens and imported frozen chicken parts. This study leverages data from 13,201 households to explore Ghanaian demand dynamics for these products using the Quadratic Almost Ideal Demand System. Findings reveal stark differences between the two. Live/fresh whole chickens, considered luxury goods, display a complex interplay with other non‐chicken meat products, cultural festivities, and various sociodemographic factors. Meanwhile, frozen chicken parts, seen as necessities, exhibit different demand shifters and peak consumption periods. Importantly, these two categories emerge as distinct products, signaling to policymakers the need for differentiated strategies. Simulated policy scenarios further emphasize that reducing prices of live/fresh chickens significantly boosts domestic chicken demand more than policies raising prices of frozen parts. However, the broader implications on alternative protein sources differ between the two policy types. We urge policymakers to adopt an integrated approach, considering these nuances, to strengthen Ghana's domestic poultry sector without unintended market disruptions.

Although numerous studies have investigated various advantages of outsourcing PDC, little is known about its impact on pesticide expenditure. This study addresses the gap by estimating the impact of outsourcing PDC on pesticide expenditure using data collected from 448 rice farmers in China. We employ an endogenous treatment regression (ETR) model and an instrumental variable quantile regression (IVQR) model to investigate the homogenous and heterogeneous impacts of outsourcing PDC, respectively. The results estimated by the ETR model show that outsourcing PDC decreases total pesticide expenditure. The reduction in herbicide expenditure due to outsourcing PDC is greater than the reduction in insecticide expenditure. The results estimated by the IVQR model reveal that the pesticide expenditure reduction effect of outsourcing PDC is larger among farmers with higher pesticide expenditure. Our findings generally suggest that it is necessary to take outsourcing PDC into consideration when designing policies to promote pesticide expenditure reduction and protect the ecological environment and human health.","PeriodicalId":55544,"journal":{"name":"Agribusiness","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141886568","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examined Chinese consumers' preferences and willingness to pay (WTP) for credence attributes of beef from the domestic market and other large exporting countries. Three beef cuts were considered: steak, brisket, and tongue. Data were collected from an online survey incorporating choice experiments (CEs) of 2016 consumers from China in 2021. Each respondent was presented with three beef alternatives that differed in price, country of origin, food safety, and production certifications, and also included a “no purchase” option. Chinese consumers' beef selections in the CEs were analyzed using a mixed logit model in WTP space. Results indicate that the type of cut does not influence Chinese consumers' evaluation of country of origin and credence attributes. Moreover, results show that Chinese consumers strongly prefer and are willing to pay more for domestic beef than imported beef. Beef from New Zealand had the highest WTP value among all the exporting countries, followed by Argentina, Australia, Canada, Uruguay, Brazil, and the United States. Also, enhanced food safety, Organic, and Green Food certifications had positive WTP values. The findings of this study offer evidence that Chinese consumers prefer safe and quality‐assured beef products. This information can be used by beef producers targeting the Chinese market to design production and marketing strategies.","PeriodicalId":55544,"journal":{"name":"Agribusiness","volume":"45 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141781075","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Efforts have been made to protect sensitive areas but are hindered by agricultural trade disruptions outside the control of individual countries due to globally integrated crop markets. This analysis assesses the effects of two trade shocks, that is, the war in Ukraine and vehicle decarbonization in the United States (US), on biodiversity and water resources in Latin America. Results show that an increase in maize and wheat exports from the region triggered by the war in Ukraine negatively affects biodiversity in Brazil and leads to cropland expansion into drought-prone areas in Argentina and Chile. For the case of reduced crop exports from Latin America due to US vehicle decarbonization and the corresponding shift away from US maize ethanol, the pressure on arable land in areas of high biodiversity and water stress is eased. As opposed to agricultural carbon emissions, which have global impacts, biodiversity and water issues have a strong local and regional significance. Regulatory frameworks aiming to protect these regions should be forward looking to detect and shield vulnerable areas from future threats. Other changes affecting global agriculture and trade, for example, sustainable aviation fuels in the US or the European Farm-to-Fork policy, need to be anticipated for effective policies in Latin America.</p>","PeriodicalId":55544,"journal":{"name":"Agribusiness","volume":"41 4","pages":"1039-1050"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/agr.21965","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141584725","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
