OCM ortofrutta e processi di adattamento delle organizzazioni di produttori: materiali e metodi per la valutazione
No full textThe Italian kiwi production and role of Producer Organisations (POs)
No full textThe Italian production of kiwi is one of the most important in the world. His quantitative and economic importance varies a lot at territorial level, with a strong vocation in some regions (mainly Lazio, Piemonte, Emilia-Romagna and Veneto). At national level, the 2008 kiwi production was more than 450 thousand tons, confirming a growth that has been over 40%, beginning from the first Nineties. Starting from this brief scenario, the objective of our work is to analyze the kiwi sector in relation to the component run by the Producer Organisations (POs). In particular, the work aims at analyzing economic and structural relevance of POs in Italian kiwi production and their strategic orientations. Furthermore, the idea is to investigate the opportunities that the national kiwi sector will have with the implementation of the 2007 fruit and vegetables CMO reform[...

The contractual relationships in the Italian durum wheat chain: Empirical survey evidence
Full text linkThe paper investigates the vertical relations along the Italian durum wheat chain and the factors affecting farmers’ behavior in adopting contractual agreements. Sale/crop-growing contracts in the durum wheat sector are analyzed through a direct survey to a sample of 261 durum wheat farmers. The questionnaire collected data on downstream relations and contract terms between farmers and processing and/or marketing firms along the durum wheat chain. A logit model is used to identify factors affecting the likelihood of contract farming between farms and processors. One of the main issues emerging is the low frequency of written contractual forms between durum wheat farmers and downstream operators. In most cases the farmers do not want constraints and reveal a lack of trust in contracts. They prefer to sell their product to a local downstream operator with whom they have a long-standing and solid relationship of trust. Moreo-ver, results of a logistic model show that certain farm features, such as turnover and degree of specializa-tion in durum wheat production, play an important role in driving the decision to adopt written contracts
