Efficiency of agricultural contracts: the case of wheat production in South-Pyrenees

Pierre Dubois

INRAE Sciences Sociales, 2006, vol. 2006, 4

Abstract: Contracts play a more and more important role in agriculture. Few microeconomic studies have been made in France and Europe up to now. After analysing all the contracts signed between a cooperative and its wheat producers over four years, the implementation of a structural microeconomic model of contract helps demonstrate that contracts may become an effective tool to favour production of quality by encouraging producers of the best grain to increase their yields.
