Cooperative membership and farmers’ choice of marketing channels – Evidence from apple farmers in Shaanxi and Shandong Provinces, China (2018, background): “However, the reform also resulted in land fragmentation and small-scale agriculture, which have become an obstacle to develop modern agriculture (Tan et al., 2008).”
The costs and benefits of land fragmentation of rice farms in Japan (2010, methodology): “The cost-function approach is desirable to measure fragmentation costs appropriately; however, studies using the cost-function approach (Jabarin and Epplin 1994; Ali et al. 1996; Tan 2005; Tan et al. 2008) have not analyzed the beneficial effects.”
Assessing the impacts of land fragmentation and plot size on yields and costs: A translog production model and cost function approach (2018, background): “They can also affect productivity, decrease overall grain production capability, and simultaneously increase input costs (Haji, 2007; Latruffe and Piet, 2014; Rahman and Rahman, 2008; Sklenicka et al., 2014; Tan et al., 2008).”
