本文评估了印尼油棕行业合同农业对小农福利的影响，并调查了其对减贫的影响。数据是通过从苏门答腊省占碑省的245名小农中随机抽样收集的。为了捕获内生性和选择偏差，应用了一个处理效应模型。结果表明，农户参与承包农业与户主类型、户主年龄、油棕种植面积和种植时间显著相关。虽然承包农业对小农的总体收入有显著的积极影响，但它歧视较贫穷的小农。建议农业产业和政府审查合同安排，以增加穷人从印度尼西亚油棕扩张中受益的机会。
This paper assesses the impact of contract farming in the oil palm industry in Indonesia on smallholders’ well-being and investigates its implication for poverty reduction. Data were collected using random sampling from 245 smallholders in the province of Jambi, Sumatra. A treatment effects model was applied in order to capture endogeneity and selection bias. Results show that participation in contract farming is significantly associated with type of household, age of household head, size of oil palm plot, and the time of plantation establishment. While contract farming has a significant positive effect on smallholder income overall, it discriminates against poorer smallholders. It is recommended that the agro industry and government review contractual arrangements in order to increase the chances of the poor benefiting from oil palm expansion in Indonesia.
