“…When faced with tighter importing country standards, exporters may divert trade to other markets with lax regulations, or they may alter their existing standards, comply and maintain market access (Lee et al, 2012). Complying with GlobalGAP standards involve costs that can be barriers to resource-constrained producers, significantly influence adoption decisions (Lippe and Grote, 2017) and pose market access problems. For exporters to choose compliance, the benefits of producing the certified product (e.g.…”

With increasing global agrifood trade, private food standards and certifications have proliferated. Yet, their trade effects remain ambiguous. We provide further empirical evidence by assessing the effect of GlobalGAP certification on agrifood exports to high-value markets in EU and OECD countries. Empirically, we estimate a structural gravity model-that accounts for zero trade and endogeneity of certification-using a novel dataset of certified producers and land area cultivated to apples, bananas, and grapes from 2010 to 2015. While our results generally confirm the trade-enhancing effect of GlobalGAP certification for both developed and developing countries, we show that the effects vary across products.

“…Research into farmers' adoption of public and private GAP programmes has been undertaken in both Vietnam (Loan et al , 2016; Vu Thi et al , 2016) and other developing countries (Krause et al , 2016; Srisopaporn et al , 2015). However, the vast majority of the literature (Lippe and Grote, 2016; Krause et al , 2016; Loan et al , 2016; Vu Thi et al , 2016; Laosutsan et al , 2019) tends to explain farmers' adoption of GAP based on the either some or all of the four following factors:the characteristics of farmers such as age, education level and experience (Kersting and Wollni, 2012; Lippe and Grote, 2016; Krause et al , 2016);the characteristics of farms and households such as farm size, the availability of labour and access to off-farm income (Muriithi et al , 2011; Annor et al , 2016; Loan et al , 2016; Jin and Zhou, 2011);the characteristics of the technology (GAP) such as the complexity of new farming practices, the need for additional labour to implement the new farming practices, the cost of new inputs to meet certification standards and certification costs (Vu Thi et al , 2016; Srisopaporn et al , 2015; Lippe and Grote, 2016); andthe level of support given to farmers under GAP programmes such as technical training, price support or input subsidies (Lippe and Grote, 2016; Kersting and Wollni, 2012; Muriithi et al , 2011). …”

Exploring farmers' adoption of VietGAP from systemic perspective: implication for developing agri-food systems

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate factors that influence farmers' adoption of Vietnamese Good Agricultural Practices (VietGAP) in Vietnam.Design/methodology/approachA case study design was employed. A purposive and snowball sampling strategy was used to select 54 participants for semi-structured interviews. Qualitative data analysis techniques were applied to analyse the data.FindingsThis study found that the social, cultural and institutional dimensions that define the dominant traditional agri-food system determined farmers' adoption of VietGAP and this was expressed in: (1) there was a lack of concern about food safety amongst value chain (VC) actors, particularly consumers and this limited demand for VietGAP-certified vegetables; (2) subjective rather than objective measures were used to assess vegetable quality by actors throughout the domestic vegetable VC and (3) the coordination of this vegetable VC was dominated by informal, trust-based relationships between VC actors rather than through formal written contracts.Research limitations/implicationsThis study employed a case study approach and focussed on a local VC for fresh vegetables. The findings of this research may therefore differ to those concerning other produce.Practical implicationsThis study highlights that farmers' uptake of VietGAP requires changes to the socio-technical regime of the traditional agri-food system.Originality/valueThis research provides a systemic view of the determinants of GAP adoption by farmers and highlights areas that need to be considered when designing policies to enhance the uptake of public GAP programmes and introduce agri-food systems in developing countries.

“…A relevant question relates to the role of education in the willingnessand the abilityto adopt a certification. Previous research shows that bureaucratic barriers might preclude the expansion of standards (see Lippe and Grote, 2017), an issue that deserves greater attention in the future.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to discuss the relationship between the existence of asset specificity and the architecture of the hybrid governance structures adopted by horticultural smallholders from the Brazilian region of Serra Fluminense. Design/methodology/approach This paper uses a negative binomial regression model to analyze 567 transactions carried out by horticultural smallholders from the Brazilian region of Serra Fluminense. Starting from the insights of Oliver Williamson’s transaction cost economics, an indicator is constructed with the goal to capture the degree of intensity of coordination from the adoption of diverse bundles of coordination mechanisms in a governance structure. Findings The results show that higher levels of human and physical asset specificity affect the intensity of coordination of the transactions in the sample, leading to the adoption of hybrid forms with more complex bundles of coordination mechanisms. Research limitations/implications This paper adds to a growing literature that studies the architecture of complex governance structures. However, its empirical conclusions are exploratory. Originality/value The contribution of this paper is twofold. First, quantitative empirical studies that analyze the diversity of hybrid forms in the same industry are relatively rare. This contribution also presents a theoretical discussion that might inform scholars dealing with similar research challenges.
