Non-cognitive skills and willingness to participate in drought index crop insurance in Ghana
Several studies have examined the role of safety-net programme in mitigating agricultural production risks. However, there is a lack of evidence on how non-cognitive skills (NCS) influence farmers’ participation in safety net programmes. This study investigates the relationship between farmers’ non-cognitive skills and willingness to participate in drought index crop insurance (DICI) using a farm household survey of 1,100 farmers in the Northern …
Factors influencing farmers' utilisation of marketing information sources: Some empirical evidence from Pakistan
This study empirically investigates the factors influencing Pakistani cotton farmers’ utilisation of marketing information sources. Data were collected by face-to-face, interviewing 399 cotton farmers. Factors and variations of the utilisation of marketing information sources were analysed using multivariate probit, chi-square, and descriptive statistics. The results revealed significant variations among farmers in the utilisation of mobile phone…
Drought perception and field-level adaptation strategies of farming households in drought-prone areas of Afghanistan
Analysing the variation in farmers’ perceptions of climate change impacts on crop production and adaptation measures across the Ganges’ Tidal Floodplain in Bangladesh
Bangladesh is highly vulnerable to climate change (CC) and consequent agricultural productivity repercussions. This study aimed at exploring the difference in farmers' perceptions of CC impacts on crop production and variation in adaptation measures across the Ganges' Tidal Floodplain (GTF) region. To unlock the local level context-specific nature of adaptation, the study area covered two distinct zones of the GTF: interior zone, surrounded by th…
Remittances and food security in Bangladesh: An empirical country-level analysis
Objective: To examine the association between remittances and food security in Bangladesh, controlling for other key factors. Design: The secondary data analysis was performed on the most recent (2016) nationally representative Household Income and Expenditure Survey. We used logistic regression models to measure the association between food security of the household and remittances received. The household food security was measured based on expe…
The adoption of sustainable supply chain management practices on performance and quality assurance of food companies
This study examined the effect of adopting sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) practices on food companies' sustainable performance and food quality assurance in Bangkok, Thailand. Primary data were collected through questionnaires administered to 126 food companies in Bangkok. The Seemingly Unrelated Regression (SUR) was used to examine the effect of internal and external sustainable supply chain management practices on sustainable perfor…
An assessment of the smallholder rice farming households’ vulnerability to climate change and variability in the Mekong delta region of Vietnam
This study assessed the livelihood vulnerability of rice farming households in Can Tho, Dong Thap, and Tien Giang provinces in the Mekong delta region (MDR) of Vietnam using primary data collected from 405 rice farmers, and the Livelihood Vulnerability Index (LVI) and LVI-Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (LVI-IPCC) approaches. The calculated LVI revealed that rice farming households were vulnerable in terms of the social network, livelih…

Factors Influencing Smallholder Rice Farmers’ Vulnerability to Climate Change and Variability in the Mekong Delta Region of Vietnam
Comparative assessment of vulnerability of smallholder livestock farmers to climate change in North-West Ghana
This study examined the vulnerability of smallholder livestock farmers in North-West Ghana to climate change using data obtained from 200 livestock farmers obtained through the administration of a semi-structured questionnaire. The Livelihood Vulnerability Index (LVI) approach was used to examine the levels of vulnerability. The study compared the vulnerability between the Nandom district and the Lawra district. The empirical results revealed tha…
Smallholder Farmer Risk Preferences in Northern Ghana: Evidence from a Controlled Field Experiment
We conduct a controlled field experiment to elicit risk preferences among maize farmers in Northern Ghana. Farmers participating in the experiment were asked to choose from a menu of lotteries representing different hypothetical probability distributions over yields produced by ‘traditional’ and ‘high yield’ maize varieties. We estimate a Rank-Dependent Utility Model (RDU) with an Expo-Power utility function, allowing for systematic subjective un…

Analysis of smallholder pig value chains in Ghana
This article examines the pig value chain in the Kassena Nankana East District of Ghana using data from 108 pig value chain actors. The empirical results revealed that the pig value chain actors added a considerable amount of value, of which processors added the highest value. Processors were perceived to be the most important actors in the governance of the value chain with respect to profit and bargaining power, whereas the producers governed t…
Gender-segregated analysis of the poultry value chain in Ghana
This study examined the poultry value chain in the Dormaa District and Sunyani Municipality in the Brong-Ahafo Region of Ghana. A multi-stage sampling procedure was used to obtain cross-sectional data from 203 value chain actors through the administration of a structured questionnaire. The poultry products considered were broilers and layers, and the value chain actors were producers, traders, and processors. The results of the Duncan’s Index of …

Livelihood vulnerabilities and diversification of fishing households in Ghana
This article reports on a study that employed the livelihood vulnerability approach and Simpson’s diversification index to examine the vulnerability and diversification of fishing households in Ghana, using primary data from 715 households. It found significant differences between the vulnerability indexes of the combined areas below the Akosombo dam and the area upstream of the dam. A majority of the households have diversified their activities.…
Farmers' perceptions of milk-collecting centres in Thailand's dairy industry
This study assessed farmers’ perceptions of milk-collecting centres (MCCs) in the central and north-eastern regions of Thailand. MCCs can be divided into two groups, dairy cooperatives and private organisations. There were similar perceptions about the role of MCCs among the farmers regarding the basic needs of dairy farmers, but with a stronger focus of economic issues for private organisation members, while dairy cooperative members views were …

Off-farm work and food security status of farming households in Ghana
This study assessed the effect of participation in off-farm work on the food security status of farming households in the Northern Region of Ghana. Primary data were solicited from 324 farming households in the Tamale metropolis and Tolon district using semi-structured questionnaires. The treatment effects of both income and food security status were estimated using propensity score matching and double-robust methods. The empirical results sugges…
