As You Sow, So Shall You Reap: The Welfare Impacts of Contract Farming (2012, background): “…are captured by different WTPs.2 Previous studies have instrumented participation in contract farming using a measure of respondent trustworthiness (Warning and Key, 2002); the number of organizations (including agricultural organizations) a respondent belongs to (Simmons et al., 2005); the…”
Supermarkets, farm household income, and poverty: Insights from Kenya (2011, background): “On the other hand there are also studies on the welfare effects of global supply chains (Bolwig et al., 2009; Maertens and Swinnen, 2009; Minten et al., 2009; Miyata et al., 2009; Warning and Key, 2002; Wollni and Zeller, 2007).”
Impact of Contract Farming on Income: Linking Small Farmers, Packers, and Supermarkets in China (2009, background): “Warning and Key (2002) study the contract farming of peanuts in Senegal.”
The Economics of Smallholder Organic Contract Farming in Tropical Africa (2009, background): “…as declining public investment and private market failure, said to underlay exclusion, since it increases economies of scale and thereby reduces private traders’ transaction costs (Dorward, Fan, Kydd, et al., 2004; Poulton, Gibbon, Hanyani-Mlambo, et al., 2004; Simmons, 2002; Warning & Key 2002).”
Contract farming configuration: Smallholders’ preferences for contract design attributes (2013, positive): “Several authors found that participation improves farmers’ income (e.g., Barrett et al., 2012; Bellemare, 2012; Warning and Key, 2002), although the extent to which participation contributes to the welfare of smallholders continues to be a methodological question (Barrett et al.”
Why do small-scale producers choose to produce under contract? Lessons from nontraditional vegetable exports from Zimbabwe (2005, background): “…poverty (see e.g., McCulloch & Ota, 2002) and potential wider effects, which illustrates how the performance of con- 172 tracts in the contexts of small-scale producers is highly variable (see e.g., Govereh & Jayne, 2003; Warning & Key, 2002), making it difficult to draw broad policy conclusions.”
Globalization and Poverty in Senegal: A Worst Case Scenario? (2011, background): “Moreover, consolidation and FDI in the agri-food industry is expected to lead to unequal bargaining power for farmers vis-à-vis large (multinational) companies, resulting in rent extracting by these companies (Gibbon, 2003; Warning and Key, 2002).”
Globalization, privatization, and vertical coordination in food value chains in developing and transition countries (2007, background): “Also in Africa, several studies conclude that state-controlled outgrower schemes were inefficient and poorly managed, which manifested itself, among other things, in low credit repayment rates (Warning and Key 2002).6”
Does contract farming improve smallholder income? The case of avocado farmers in Kenya (2016, background): “When farmers invest in specific assets and become over dependent on their contract crops, they may lose bargaining power vis-à-vis the firm, forcing them to accept less favourable or exploitative contract terms (Warning and Key, 2002).”
