“…As observed by Bagchi et al (2021), given their low-scale operation and shortage of labor and transport facilities, small collectives prefer the nearest local market to the distant big markets for selling their produce. Direct retailing to the consumers in such markets can enhance collectives' performance.…”

“…Nevertheless, the collectives should adopt modern farming technologies and skills, improve governance and get access to appropriate market information to better their position in the value chains. The strategy of a diversified value chain is also important in this regard (Bagchi et al, 2021; Grunert et al, 2005). However, it may not be possible for smallholder farmers to form collectives and managing value chain development without institutional supports (Chapoto et al, 2013) and handholding at the early stages (Gyau et al, 2014; Hellin et al, 2009).…”

Given the structure and functioning of agricultural markets and the policies and institutional space, smallholder farmers in India often face the risks of strategic failures, which force them to either opt for distress selling, operate as fringe retailers or participate in the existing supply or value chains on given conditions. In this perspective, this paper examines if smallholder farmers' collectives can potentially strengthen their market position vis-à-vis other individual players and enable them to explore strategic options in a greater way. On the basis of the structure-conduct-performance theory and field experiences from two selected villages of West Bengal (India), the paper finds that the collectivization of smallholder farmers helps in exploring a larger set of strategic options for better outcomes. Further, the choice of the strategy set varies across the collectives depending on their composition, functioning, and resource endowments. Nevertheless, there is a possibility of strategic failures because of intra-as well as intercollective conflicts and competition from other players. The success in

“…Others associate the possibility of developing agriculture with the predominance of one or another organizational form of management. For example, it is associated with the processes of cooperation and agro-industrial integration (Bagchi et al, 2021), as well as the formation of cluster-cooperative projects, or the possibility of developing small forms of economy (Tulcheev et al, 2020).…”

Globalization of agricultural markets provides new opportunities for the development of regional producers, and at the same time sets the task of improving production efficiency. Formation of a single economic space in the context of globalization of markets, including the markets for agricultural products, ensures new prospects for regional producers and makes many countries face the goal of improving agricultural production efficiency. In this case, the tasks of primary importance include reduction of costs, increase in the residual value of products. The purpose of this study is to substantiate the prospects of regional potato producers in the context of agricultural markets globalization. The study is based on the data of the Russian Federation for the period 2010-2020. The research methods include such general scientific methods as logical and comparative analysis, review of information and statistical data. According to our calculations, the unused export potential in the aggregate estimate makes 365.3 thousand tons in the total amount of 72.7 million USD. The potato markets of Iraq, Uzbekistan and Ukraine have the largest potential for export from Russia. Implementation of the underused export potential will require an increase in production, which is possible due to the expansion of areas of potato cultivation by 189.8 thousand hectares, or an increase in yield by 26.9%, to 205 t from 1 ha, which is more preferable. The expansion of production will have a positive impact on both the economic indicators of regional producers and the employment of rural population.
