Drivers of Farmers' Contract Compliance Behavior: Evidence From a Case Study of Dangote Tomato Processing Plant in Northern Nigeria

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Contract farming is a viable strategy agribusinesses rely on to strengthen coordination across actors in the value chain. However, low contract compliance remains a significant setback to agribusinesses' contract performance in low‐ and middle‐income country context.

Charting the Path to Increased Oil Palm Output in Ghana Beyond Area Expansion: Technology or Managerial Capacity — Which Leads the Way?

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study sets out to investigate the prospects for raising oil palm output in sub‐Saharan Africa, particularly Ghana, without further expansion of cropland. Given global concerns about oil palm's role in deforestation and land use change, the focus is on enhancing productivity on existing farmlands.

Rainfall partitioning along a tree diversity gradient in a deciduous old-growth forest in Central Germany

open access: yes, 2009
This study investigated whether rainfall partitioning into throughfall, stemflow, and interception changes along a tree species diversity gradient. The 12 study plots in old-growth forest stands in the Hainich National Park, Germany, were composed of up ...

Regional Differences in U.S. Consumer Preferences for Native Woody Shrubs With Varying Aesthetic Characteristics

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Native plants offer a variety of aesthetic (e.g., fall colour, fruit, flowers) and functional benefits (e.g., pollinator friendly, wildlife friendly, water management). How these benefits influence consumer choice and perceived value of native versus introduced plants is not well understood.

A LiDAR‐driven pruning algorithm to delineate canopy drainage areas of stemflow and throughfall drip points

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution
Precipitation channelled down tree stems (stemflow) or into drip points of ‘throughfall’ beneath trees results in spatially concentrated inputs of water and chemicals to the ground.

When the River Runs Low: Heterogeneous Impacts of Transportation Disruptions on Local Grain Basis

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A substantial share of U.S. soybean and corn exports from the Midwest moves by barge along the Mississippi River system to export terminals in the Louisiana Gulf. Transportation costs between Midwestern grain elevators and export terminals create a wedge between prices at these locations, and shocks to these costs are partially passed on to ...

Responses of Young Tea (Camellia Sinensis) Clones to Drought and Temperature II: Dry Matter Production and Partitioning [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
The physiological basis for differences in yields from well-watered and droughted plants of four contrasting clones of tea were studied in terms of light interception, dry matter production and partitioning at a high altitude site in Southern Tanzania
