چکیده

شواهد زیادی وجود دارد که نشان می‌دهد قراردادهای کشاورزی می‏توانند درآمد کشاورزان را افزایش دهند، با این‌حال، پژوهش‌های تجربی چندانی در مورد ترجیحات کشاورزان نسبت به ویژگی‌های طراحی قراردادهای کشاورزی در دسترس نیست. هدف این پژوهش بررسی ترجیحات پسته‌کاران شهرستان ابرکوه واقع در استان یزد برای طراحی خصوصیات قراردادها می‌باشد، تا از این راه بتوان قراردادهایی را طراحی کرد که که انگیزه مشارکت بیش‌تر کشاورزان را در پی داشته باشد. داده‌های مورد نیاز از 103 باغدار پسته در سال 1397 و از راه پرسش‌نامه گرد‌آوری شد. در این پژوهش از فرآیند تجزیه و تحلیل سلسله مراتبی برای اولویت‌بندی خصوصیات قرارداد از منظر کشاورزان و آزمایش انتخابی گسسته برای بررسی ترجیحات کشاورزان نسبت به این خصوصیات استفاده شد. نتایج نشان دادند عدم قطعیت بازار نهاده‌ها مهم‌تر از عدم قطعیت بازار ستاده‌ها در تصمیم‏گیری کشاورزان برای مشارکت در قراردادهای کشاورزی می‌باشد. هم‌چنین، کشاورزان تمایل دارند تا ریسک خود را از راه انتخاب بنگاههای کشاورزی برای انعقاد قرارداد در مقایسه با انتخاب دولت و سازمان‌های مردم‌نهاد به کمینه برسانند و از این راه نهاده‌ها و کمک‌های فنی را دریافت کنند. فراهم کردن انگیزه‌های سرمایه‌گذاری برای ورود بنگاههای کشاورزی به قراردادها می‏تواند آنان را قادر سازد تا قراردادهای جذابی برای کشاورزان کوچک ارائه دهند.

چکیده [English]

There is much evidence to show that contracts farming can increase farmers' income. The aim of this paper was to study the preferences of pistachio producers in Abarkouh, Yazd province, to design contract specifications. To this end, contracts can be designed, so that farmers would have more incentives to participate in. Data was collected from 103 pistachio gardens in 2018 by using a questionnaire. In this research, a hierarchical analysis process was used to prioritize contract specifications from the perspective of farmers and discrete choice experiment was used to examine the preferences of farmers towards these characteristics. The results showed that market input uncertainty is more important than market output uncertainty in farmers' decision to participate in agricultural contracts. Farmers also tend to minimize their risk by choosing agricultural firms to conclude a contract in comparison with the government and NGOs' choices and thus receive inputs and technical assistance. Providing incentives for investment can enable agricultural firms to provide attractive contracts for small farmers.
