英文文献摘要:
The paper aims to analyze the snap bean value chain and assess the competitiveness of small farmers and how the value-added benefits are shared by various participants of the value chain in Kirinyaga County, Kenya. We find that farmers had the lowest share of value added among the chain participants. For instance, in channel 1 the value-added share of small scale farmers was 15.6%, brokers 16.3%, processors had the highest share at 37.6% and retailers at 30.5%. Despite this, the small farmers were still competitive and that the entire chain was profitable in all the four channels that were analyzed. Shorter chains where brokers were excluded provided farmers higher benefits than longer chains. The mean value added for the chain actors were significantly different in all the four channels. Multiple comparisons test showed that all means, except between farmers and brokers, were different. The study recommends for policy interventions that seek to reduce the number of market intermediaries if commodity market chains have to be more beneficial to small farmers.
本文旨在分析肯尼亚Kirinyaga县的菜豆价值链,评估小农户的竞争力以及价值链各参与者如何分享增值收益。我们发现,在供应链参与者中,农民的增值份额最低。以渠道一为例,小农户增值份额为15.6%,中间商增值份额为16.3%,加工商增值份额最高为37.6%,零售商增值份额为30.5%。尽管如此,小农户仍然具有竞争力,而且在所分析的所有四个渠道中,整个产业链都是盈利的。不包括经纪人的较短的链条比较长的链条能给农民带来更高的利益。在所有四个渠道中,连锁行为者的平均增加价值均有显著差异。多重比较检验表明,除农民和经纪人之间的差异外,其他指标均存在差异。该研究建议,如果商品市场链条必须对小农更有利,应采取政策干预措施,设法减少市场中介机构的数量。
