Title : The Role of Trust and Transaction Cost Attributes to Reduce Side Selling in Sesame Contract Farming in Ethiopia
by Mekdelawit Yeshitila, Isriya Bunyasiri, Prapinwadee Sirisupluxana,
Abstract : Based on the concept that relational contracts complete a formal contract in the absence of a legal enforcement mechanism, this study assessed the coexistence of relational and formal contracts to reduce side selling in sesame contract farming. Thus, trust and communication are used as relational contract elements, and the need for a formal contract was assessed based on transaction cost attributes (asset specificity and behavioral uncertainty). A structural equation modeling was used to analyze the relationship between the attributes of relational contracts and transaction cost economics and their direct and indirect effect on reducing side selling. The result indicates trust has a positive significant direct effect on reducing side selling with an effect coefficient of 0.248. Based on the result, while asset specificity, satisfaction, communication, and commitment have a total significant positive effect on reducing side selling, uncertainty encouraged side selling. Even if it is appealing for farmers to side sell when the market price is higher, the cost of losing secured market outlet and long term buyer exceed the short term benefit. Therefore, both farms and the firm need to foster trust to have a sustainable relationship. Alongside trust, it is better to execute contract legislation and enforcement mechanisms to circumvent uncertainty..

Title : Factors Affecting Sustainability of Business Relationships in Ethiopia Banana Value Chain
by Zinashbizu Lemma, Kanchana Sripruetkiat, Isriya Bunyasiri,
Abstract : Among other fruits crops in Ethiopia, banana is the most commonly grown and most widely consumed fruit crop, and has a paramount contribution to the livelihood developments of all value chain actors. However, the country’s banana market is not technically as well as economically efficient. Also, the value chain actors’ vertical coordination or integration is very weak. Chain integration requires the value chain actors to establish and maintain close and sustainable business relationships with their partners. Thus, this paper developed a structural equation model to determine factors that affect the sustainability of business relationships in Ethiopia banana value. Business relationship sustainability conceptualized as a higher-order latent construct measured by relationship stability and quality. Compared to the other two chain stages, the sustainability of business relationships at the farmers-to-cooperative stage and retailers-to-wholesaler stage is good. The findings show that equal power distribution, personal bonds, and the departure of key people significantly determine the business relationship sustainability along the value chain. For the farmers-local collectors and retailers-wholesalers stages, equal power distribution is the main determinant of business relationship sustainability, while for the farmers-cooperative stage competition, and at the local collectors-wholesalers level, a personal bond is the most important determinant..

Title : Factors Affecting Producers’ Trust and the Role of Trust as a Mediator to build Producers’ Loyalty in Ethiopia Banana Value Chain
by Zinashbizu Lemma, Kanchana Sripruetkiat, Isriya Bunyasiri,
Abstract : Due to rapid transitions in the agri-food chain, collaboration and coordination between buyers and sellers are particularly important. Collaboration established on relational factors like trust. In Ethiopia banana value chain, the business relationship between farmers and local collectors is not long-lasting. They involve informal marketing relationships established based on the merits of the trading partners. Local collectors act opportunistically, and it affects producers' level of trust and their willingness to involve in a long-term relationship. Thus, this paper aimed to determine the factors that affect producers’ trust and its role to build producers' loyalty which facilitates collaboration for two groups of farmers; cooperative members and independent farmers. The study found that price satisfaction and social satisfaction are the main determinants of trust, while the former is for the independent farmers, and the latter is for the cooperative members. Trust highly determine producers' loyalty, especially for independent farmers, and it also plays a significant mediating role between two factors (price satisfaction & social satisfaction) and producers' loyalty. The cooperative members have a better level of trust and loyalty for their buyers than that of the independent farmers. Thus, local collectors need to avoid their opportunistic behavior and develop trust in their sellers by satisfying their price and social satisfaction.

Title : The Impact of Contract Farming on Technical Efficiency in Ethiopia’s Smallholder Sesame Production
by Mekdelawit Yeshitila, Isriya Bunyasiri, Prapinwadee Sirisupluxana, Auttapol Suebpongsakorn,
Abstract : Ethiopia has been struggling in the international Sesame market due to low productivity. Therefore, contract farming (CF) has been introduced as a new institutional arrangement to improve productivity. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of CF on smallholder’s technical efficiency (TE) using cross-sectional data from 122 CF and 261 non-CF sesame farmers in Ethiopia. A data envelopment analysis (DEA) is used to estimate sesame production efficiency. The impact of CF on technical, allocative, and economic efficiency was assessed using propensity score matching (PSM). A Rosenbaum bound approach was used to see to what extent the PSM results is sensitive to hidden bias problem. Based on the DEA result, CF participants have an average TE score of 0.68 and non-CF has 0.56 under constant return to scale. This indicates that to increase TE, CF participants and non-participants can reduce the amount of input use by 32% and 44%, respectively. Farmers can increase TE under variable return to scale by reducing input level on average by 23% and 32% for CF and non-CF, respectively. The AE for CF participants is 0.26, while the non-CF participant has an AE of 0.20. The PSM results revealed that contract farming increases technical efficiency by 11% and economic efficiency by 8.7%. AE is increased by 8% due to CF. Therefore, contract farming can be used as an institutional arrangement to improve production efficiency.

Title : Intestinal Parasites Infection in Vegetables: A Mini Review
by Afzan Mat Yusof,
Abstract : Intestinal parasites infections are the major disease that infecting human through food contamination. Consumption of raw vegetables become an important pathway for the parasitic infection towards the human host. Hence, the aim of this mini review is to reveal the past and present on the parasitic infections in vegetables which has been underestimated. In general, the implementation of Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs) by practicing good documentation and practices in agriculture, providing good facilities and amenities such as clean storage house and clean water supply will reduce the contamination of parasitic infections. Besides, we suggested that the importance to create new regulation to control the uses of fertilizer originated from untreated human and animal waste should be eliminated in order to reduce the contamination of parasitic infections in vegetables..
