Abstract/Description

For subsistence farmers who want to start growing cash crops, the danger that they will not find a good market may be a strong disincentive. Contract farming may be one solution, as it guarantees that farmers will have a market. This report from Tanzania features a company that makes contracts with farmers to cultivate flower seeds for export to Holland.
