“…Tingginya pengaruh penyuluh swadaya dalam meningkatkan kerjasama petani dikarenakan umumnya selain menjadi penyuluh swadaya, mereka memiliki posisi lain di masyarakat yaitu sebagai tokoh masyarakat (ketua kelompok tani, pemuda tani, pengusaha agribisnis) sehingga dengan mudah menggerakkan petani dalam komunitasnya untuk bermitra satu sama lainnya. Hal tersebut menunjukkan bahwa, kerjasama petani hadir sebagai bentuk dukungan dan inisiatif antar petani yang di dorong oleh tokoh penggerak petani untuk mencapai kepentingan tertentu (Songa et al 2014). Tokoh penggerak tersebut dalam konteks ini adalah penyuluh swadaya.…”

“…Both village case studies illustrate an important rural development pathways in mountainous areas of China: community-based and women-led cooperative, diversified agriculture combined with strong horizontal integration (Song et al 2014). Together, these ideas represent "a locally-driven empowerment process in which farmers, led by women, have improved their capacity to deliberate about choices of action, experiment with options, create new practices, and enlarge the network of horizontal relationships, and thus obtain more autonomy in realizing their aspirations according to their own agendas" (Song and Vernooy 2010).…”

“…Cooperatives arose in China in the 1980s and began to grow rapidly after the implementation of the “Law on Farmer Specialized Cooperatives” in 2007, which created new ways for farmers to do business with their buyers (Chen & Scott, ). Cooperatives are expected to provide individual farmers with high‐quality input, market information, and assistance with new technologies to help them address problems of small‐scale production challenges, food safety, pesticide residue testing, and supervision during production (Song, Qi, Zhang, & Vernooy, ; Zheng, Wang, & Awokuse, ). Cooperatives can be effective organization carriers for achieving quality and safe production in agriculture.…”

This paper focuses on the impact of business relationships on safe production behavior by farmers in China. Data collected from 410 vegetable farmers were used with a propensity score matching model for estimating. We found that the co-operative membership without marketing transactions had no significant effect on whether farmers had vegetable certification, whereas the membership did positively affect farmers' attention to pesticide toxicity and the application of soil-testing results to fertilization compared with farmers who participated in market exchanges. These results show that farmers who participate in co-operative membership with marketing transactions are more likely to own certifications, attend to toxicity and apply soil-testing results. We also found that contract farming has a positive effect on whether farmers have certification, whereas no significant effect was observed on the attention paid to toxicity and the application of soil-testing results.
