Determinants of small farmers’ integration and agricultural yield in inclusive business models: Insights from the cocoa sector in Côte d'Ivoire
Abstract
This paper examines the factors influencing the integration of smallholder farmers and their agricultural yields within inclusive business models (IBs). The Heckman two-stage selection method was used for the analysis. The first-stage results showed that the farmer's age, household size, possession of a Tax Declaration of Existence, and association membership were determinants of smallholders’ probability of being integrated into IBs. Concerning the second stage, the number of working days, gender (male), and the farmer's experience had a positive and significant influence on agricultural yield.
