Abstract

It is not the contract per se which spells hardship or doom for growers, particularly small growers as a system, but how it is practised in a given context. In fact, all over the world, contracting of some kind is a necessity for modern commercial agriculture due to the wide support for contract farming under the SAP and the international and national competitive pressures in agribusiness sector worldwide. Contract farming has the potential to lead to a betterment of all the parties, especially the small and marginal farmers, if it is promoted and undertaken judiciously and if there can be certain mechanisms in place.
