全球粮食市场要求发展中国家的农民遵守全球良好农业规范和有机认证等粮食标准。本文分析了认证农业的采用和盈利能力，使用386加纳小规模菠萝农民的农场级数据。我们采用了内生开关回归模型来研究采用和影响有机认证的投资回报率（ROT）在菠萝种植。实证结果表明，有机认证和GlobalGAP认证都实现了积极的投资回报率。然而，有机认证农业的投资回报率明显高于GlobalGAP认证农民，这主要是由于有机市场的价格溢价。(C)2014爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
Global food markets demand adherence to food standards by farmers in developing countries, such as GlobalGAP and organic certifications. This paper analyzes the adoption and profitability of certified farming, using farm-level data of 386 Ghanaian small-scale pineapple farmers. We employ an endogenous switching regression model to examine the adoption and impact of organic certification on the return on investment (ROT) in pineapple farming. The empirical results indicate that both organic and GlobalGAP certification achieve a positive ROI. However, organic-certified farming yields a significantly higher ROI than GlobalGAP-certified farmers, mainly due to the price premium on the organic market. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.
