摘要

尽管在水果和蔬菜生产中使用塑料可生物降解地膜(BDM)具有潜在的经济和环境效益，但美国农民对BDM的采用率仍然相对较低。影响低BDM采用率的因素之一是其成本。本研究利用2019年田纳西州果蔬农民调查、条件估值法和probit回归，评估了农民对BDM的偏好和支付意愿(WTP)。结果表明，价格、农场收入和对BDM的熟悉程度是影响农民采用BDM的因素。然而，结果表明BDM的生产者WTP低于当前BDM的市场价格。

Tennessee Fruit and Vegetable Farmer Preferences and Willingness to Pay for Plastic Biodegradable Mulch

Regardless of the potential economic and environmental benefits associated with plastic biodegradable mulch (BDM) use in fruit and vegetable production, BDM adoption among U.S. farmers remains relatively low. One of the factors influencing low BDM adoption is its cost. Using a 2019 Tennessee fruit and vegetable farmer survey, the contingent valuation method, and a probit regression, this study evaluates farmers’ preferences and willingness to pay (WTP) for BDM. Results suggest price, on-farm income, and familiarity with BDM are factors influencing farmer adoption of BDM. However, results suggest producer WTP for BDM is below current BDM market prices.
