Abstract

Im Zuge der Energiewende treten immer mehr Bioenergieanlagenbetreiber an Landwirte heran, um ihren Biomassebedarf langfristig vertraglich abzusichern. Sie verfügen jedoch nur über wenig Erfahrung bezüglich Vertragsmotivationen von Landwirten. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird auf Basis einer Befragung von 209 Landwirten eine Segmentierung von Betriebsleitern anhand ihrer unternehmerischen Einstellungen durchgeführt. Die identifizierten Unternehmersegmente unterscheiden sich hinsichtlich wahrgenommenem Vertragsnutzen und Bindungsbereitschaft. Langfristig bindungsbereite Vertragsbefürworter zeichnen sich durch eine geringe Autonomiepräferenz aus. Die in der Literatur häufig bestätigte Motivation, aus Risikogesichtspunkten Verträge einzugehen, kann dagegen nicht nachgewiesen werden. Auf Basis der Ergebnisse werden Managementempfehlungen hinsichtlich der Akquise von Vertragslieferanten sowie Schlussfolgerungen für die Vertragsforschung gegeben.
