Farmers' willingness to pay for smart farming technologies: Evidence from a smart drip irrigation technology in North China por Tao, Hui, Xiong, Hang, You, Liangzhi, Li, Fan

“…This paper is to estimate farmers' preference and willingness to pay (WTP) for a well-defined SFT, smart drip irrigation (SDI) technology.This study conducted a discrete choice experiment (DCE) among 1,300 maize farmers in North China to understand their WTP for various functions of SDI using mixed logit (MIXL) models.The results show that farmers have a strong preference for SDI in general and its specific functions of smart sensing and smart control. …”

What drives consumer demand for rice fragrance? Evidence from South and Southeast Asia por Bairagi, Subir, Demont, Matty, Custodio, Marie Claire, Ynion, Jhoanne

“…PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to analyze geographic heterogeneity of consumer preferences for intrinsic quality attributes of rice in South and Southeast Asia and the drivers of demand for these attributes, with a particular focus on rice fragrance and the role of gender.Design/methodology/approachStated-preference surveys were conducted with 4,231 urban and rural consumers in 37 cities across seven countries (Bangladesh, India, Cambodia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam) during 2013–2014 and analyzed through a rank-ordered logistic regression with incomplete ranking choice data.FindingsPreferences for rice attributes are found to be significantly heterogeneous among consumers in South and Southeast Asia. …”

Inclusiveness of contract farming along the vertical coordination continuum: Evidence from the Vietnamese rice sector por Ba, Hélène A., de Mey, Yann, Thoron, Sylvie, Demont, Matty

“…We model contract farming participation and intensity in four different ways along the vertical coordination continuum: as a discrete, categorical, ordered, and continuous choice. We find that older, smaller and horizontally coordinated farmers with higher levels of trust in buyers tend to secure higher levels of buyer investment through increased vertical coordination. …”
