摘要 合同农业（CF）作为许多国家农业发展政策的一部分得到推广。关于CF的文献很少考虑动物疫病风险，它显着影响合同农户和企业之间的总收入和重新分配。我们利用十年全国家庭层面的面板数据，对中国家禽业进行调查，分析CF的包容性。我们评估了动物疫病发生时参与CF对农户收入和资产禀赋的影响。结果证实了保险性，并发现了CF通过调整产品价格的特殊再分配功能。 CF对大农户的家禽养殖收入产生负面影响，但在动物疫病爆发期间可以减轻影响。同时，在疾病发生时，参与CF对小农户的资产具有显着的正向影响。然而，在风险存在的情况下，CF 却未能做到“包容”。由于小农户的参与机会总体较少，上述积极影响有限。得出政策含义和建议，以提高合作社对小农户的包容性。
ABSTRACT Contract farming (CF) is promoted as part of agricultural development policies in many countries. Few literature on CF has considered the animal epidemic risk, which significantly affects the total revenue and the re-distribution between the contract farmers and the enterprise. Using the ten-year nationwide household-level panel data, we investigate the Chinese poultry sector to analyse the inclusiveness of CF. We evaluate the impact of participating in CF on farmers’ income and asset endowments when animal epidemic diseases occur. The results confirm the insurance and discover the special re-distribution function of CF through adjusting product price. CF negatively affects large farmers’ poultry farming income while it could be mitigated during the animal epidemic disease outbreak. Meanwhile, participating in CF has a significant positive effect on small farmers’ assets when diseases occur. However, CF fails to be ‘inclusive’ in the presence of risks. The above positive effect is limited due to overall fewer participation opportunities available to small farmers. Policy implications and suggestions are derived to improve the inclusiveness of CF to small household farmers.
