Contract farming has received renewed attention recently as
developing economies try to grapple with how to transform the
agricultural sector and its associated value chains. This book
examines different contract arrangements for selected crops,
applying both qualitative and quantitative approaches in order to
examine how contract farming affects smallholders and value chain
dynamics in Tanzania. Major themes covered in the book include:
contract farming policy; contract farming and value chain dynamics;
contract farming adoption decisions; contract farming and income
diversification. The authors also discuss alternative aspects of
contract farming such as trust, conspiracy, empowerment and
corporate social responsibility. The book presents original
research from case studies conducted in Tanzania on sugarcane,
tobacco, sunflower and cotton. These crops have a history of trials
and errors with contract farming involving smallholders.
Furthermore, they are targeted in national strategies as some of
the main crops for establishment and upgrading of agro-industrial
activities in Tanzania.
