Book Description
Contract farming can be described as half-way house between farm production and corporate farming. It involves contractual relation between farmers and central processing or exporting unit/firms. Seed is a vital input and dynamic instrument for increasing agricultural production. The present study was conducted at Mithapukur and Pirgachha Upazilas under Rangpur district to assess the profitability, contribution of factors to production and changes in socio-economic status of the vegetable seed contract growers. In total 90 open pollinated vegetables seed contract growers were randomly selected in consultation with BADC personnel at the rate of 30 contract seed growers (20 small and 10 medium) from each of the three selected vegetable crops viz., tomato, brinjal and okra. Total cost, gross margin, gross return, net return and benefit cost ratio (undiscounted) were estimated for economic analysis. The results revealed that per hectare (ha) total cost, gross return and net return of open pollinated vegetables seed production were estimated at Tk. 253136, 360000 and 106864 in tomato, Tk. 219765, 430000 and 210235 in brinjal and, Tk. 185072, 237120 and 52048 in okra, respectively. Benefit cost ratios came out to be 1.42, 1.96 and 1.28 for tomato, brinjal and okra seed production, respectively which was found a bit higher for the brinjal seed contract growers. The marginal productivity analysis indicated that the inequality of the contract growers in the study area have failed to show their efficiency in using the resources. The overall socio-economic status of the sample contract growers were found increased by about 26.02 percent. Scarcity of skilled labor, inadequate and untimely capital, non-existence of crop insurance were the problems confronting the open pollinated vegetables seed contract growers. Fixing scale of finance, crop insurance and government intervention were the suggestions.

Book Description
Despite having a good scope of vegetable seeds as high value & low volume products, their profitable production is still elusive for the farmers. In this regard, a study was carried out to assess the economics of vegetable seed production and marketing in the Kavrepalanchowk district of Nepal. The primary data were collected through face-to-face interviews using a semi-structured survey questionnaire. For the interview, a sampling frame of all seed producers in the district was prepared and using the simple random sampling technique, sixty seed-producers were selected. Further, ten traders were also surveyed with a semi-structured questionnaire. The study found the highest benefit-cost ratio in tomato (3.36), followed by kidney bean (1.55) and cress (1.34). Only a single marketing channel was reported in the study site. The farmers sell their produces to a cooperative which eventually sells the seeds to a seed company. The limited irrigation facilities, incidence of disease and pests, and limited market information have been reported as the major hindrances in the study area. Thus, the findings show the potential to scale up vegetable seed production by enhancing market linkage and better collaboration between various value chain actors.

Book Description
Wracked by poverty, famine, and drought, Africa is typically represented as agriculturally stagnant, backward, and crisis-prone. Living Under Contract, however, highlights the dynamic, changing character of sub-Saharan agrarian systems by focusing on contract farming. A relatively new and increasingly widespread way of organizing peasant agriculture, contract farming promotes production of a wide variety of crops--from flowers to cocoa, from fresh vegetables to rice--under contract to agribusinesses, exporters, and processers. The proliferation of African growers producing under contract is in fact part of broader changes in the global agro-food system. In this examination of agricultural restructuring and its effect upon various African societies, editors Peter Little and Michael Watts bring together anthropologists, economists, geographers, political scientists, and sociologists to explore the origins, forms, and consequences of contract production in several African countries, particularly Kenya, the Gambia, Zimbabwe, and the Ivory Coast. Documenting how contract production links farmers, agribusiness, and the state, the contributors examine problematic aspects of this method of agrarian reform. Their case studies, based on long-term field work and analysis on the village and household level, chart the complex effects of contract production on the organization of work and the labor process, rural inequality, gender relations, labor markets, local accumulation strategies, and regional development. Living Under Contract reveals that contract farming represents a distinctive form in which African growers are incorporated into national and world markets. Contract production, which has been a central feature of the agricultural landscape in the advanced capitalist states, is an emerging strategy for "capturing peasants" and for confronting the agrarian question in the late twentieth century.

Book Description
This open access book examines the interactions between India’s economic development, agricultural production, and nutrition through the lens of a “Food Systems Approach (FSA).” The Indian growth story is a paradoxical one. Despite economic progress over the past two decades, regional inequality, food insecurity and malnutrition problems persist. Simultaneously, recent trends in obesity along with micro-nutrient deficiency portend to a future public health crisis. This book explores various challenges and opportunities to achieve a nutrition-secure future through diversified production systems, improved health and hygiene environment and greater individual capability to access a balanced diet contributing to an increase in overall productivity. The authors bring together the latest data and scientific evidence from the country to map out the current state of food systems and nutrition outcomes. They place India within the context of other developing country experiences and highlight India’s status as an outlier in terms of the persistence of high levels of stunting while following global trends in obesity. This book discusses the policy and institutional interventions needed for promoting a nutrition-sensitive food system and the multi-sectoral strategies needed for simultaneously addressing the triple burden of malnutrition in India.
