“…The policy might provide substantial benefits for the society, such as increasing milk production whilst supporting rural development and allowing farmers to increase their livelihoods as a result of receiving higher returns for their products. Co-operative production promotes sustainable agriculture, enhancing not only the environment but also the social sustainability of local communities [17]. The stated preferences method is employed as a double-bounded dichotomous choice contingent valuation (CV) to elicit the total value of the policy.…”

We estimate the monetary value of a policy aimed at increasing rural co-operative production in Kazakhstan to increase milk production. We analyse the drivers associated with public support for such policy using the contingent valuation method. The role of individuals’ psychological aspects, based on the reasoned action approach, along with individuals’ views on the country’s past regime (i.e., to the former Soviet Union), their awareness about the governmental policy, their sociodemographic characteristics, and household location on their willingness to pay (WTP) for the policy is analysed using an interval regression model. Additionally, we examine changes in individuals’ WTP before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. The estimated total economic value of the policy is KZT 1335 bn for the length of the program at KZT 267 bn per year, which is approximately half the total program budget, which includes other interventions beyond the creation of production co-operatives. The total economic value of the policy would equal the cost of the whole program after 10 years, indicating public support for this policy amongst Kazakh citizens. Psychological factors, i.e., attitude, perceived social pressure, and perceived behavioural control, and the respondents’ awareness of the policy and views on the Soviet Union regime are associated with their WTP. Sociodemographic factors, namely, age, income, and education, are also statistically significant. Finally, the effect of the shocks of COVID-19 is negatively associated with the respondents’ WTP.

“…ACIs refer to farmer-owned and democratically controlled enterprises, which value social and cultural needs (Ridley-Duff, 2018). ACIs play a vital role in sustainable and innovative agriculture produce and rural development of developing countries like China (Dong, 2019) and developed countries (Luo et al, 2020).…”

“…For example, a recent case study exploring the innovation of the key ACI and their leading partner Riverford, which is a major UK organic retailer, Bailey et al (2021) suggests that ACIs must sustain outputs facing post-Brexit challenges. However, based on extensive literature reviews (Dong, 2019;Luo et al, 2020), few attempts have been made to examine ACIs in the context of agriculture projects from a project management perspective, with even fewer devoted to their agility across rising socio-economic challenges.…”

Complex agriculture projects directly affect the welfare of over half the world’s population, are a key Sustainable Development Goal (SDG), and account for the single most extensive human activity across 40% of the world’s surface. Furthermore, they are highly susceptible to environmental, social, and economic pressures such as climate change, cyclical pandemics, market disruptions, and diminishing arable land. These issues are also becoming increasingly vital in dint of the fact that population growth is placing increasing pressure on sustainable priorities. However, a recent scientometric review indicates a significant paucity in the extant literature on agriculture projects, with a pressing need for further research to examine sustainable project management practices from an institutional perspective. This research, therefore, aims to respond to this gap in the literature by drawing on Institutional Theory through a multi-case study of Agriculture Co-operative Institutions (ACIs). These are often viewed as valuable vehicles to deliver agricultural projects which can benefit communities, especially in emerging markets. Initial findings from two rounds of fieldwork as well as an extensive literature review suggest that ACIs as value-based organisations embedded within institutional contexts help stimulate elements of agility in project management processes, to deliver sustainable outcomes for their members and external stakeholders. Agile ACI project managers can also stimulate innovative outcomes across broader sustainable agriculture projects. It is the aim of this research also to undertake a larger cross-country comparison with international research cases. Therefore, this study will aim to not only contribute to critical project management discourse and knowledge but also to uncover agile project management practices for future pressing policy development and implementation to help foster greater sustainable agriculture project processes.
