Contract farming for improving farmers’ incomes: from Resource-Based View by Que Yang, Que Yang, Xin Zhang, Hua Peng, Dongsheng Sun

“…Fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) is applied to examine survey data from 111 vegetable distribution firms, exploring pathways for enhancing sales revenue under two distinct acquisition models.ResultsThe findings reveal that: (1) fsQCA empirical analyses demonstrate that physical, human, and organizational capital collectively contribute to revenue enhancement. (2) Under the contract farming model, both physical and human capital emerge as core drivers of sales revenue, whereas non-contract farming configurations are predominantly characterized by human capital as the central determinant. (3) While both models emphasize human capital, the contract farming framework further underscores the integral role of physical capital across the entire value chain.DiscussionThis study integrates the Resource-Based View (RBV) with fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) to uncover the synergistic effects of three types of capital (physical, human, and organizational) on vegetable sales revenue, thereby overcoming the limitations of traditional research that focuses narrowly on single production factors. …”
