摘要：quality products to processors/traders. This study aims at examining key determinants for farmers’ participation in contracts or cooperatives. A structured survey was administered to 827 farmers in Tigray, Ethiopia. Household’s land size, livestock, product characteristics, need of credit for inputs and technology and transaction costs were found to influence participation.
