This study assesses the exploratory factors for household participation in contract farming and its relationship with farm income. We use instrumental variable models. Survey data collected under the Agricultural Policy Support Project (PAPA) in 2017 are used. Two results are obtained. The first result indicates that the exploratory factors for participation in contract farming are identified as gender, level of education, agro‐ecological zone, access to credit, agricultural insurance, agricultural advice, and the share of contract farming in the commune. The second result shows the importance of participating in contract farming in that it is positively correlated with household welfare through improved income. Related Articles Abdulai, A.‐G., J. N.
