摘要：

The paper examines the revenue effects of certified organic contract farming for smallholders and of adoption of organic agricultural fanning methods in a tropical African context. The comparison in both cases is with fanning systems that are "organic by default." Survey data from a large organic coffee contract farming scheme in Uganda are reported and analyzed using a standard OLS regression and a full information maximum likelihood (FIML) estimate of the Heckman selection model. The analysis finds that, controlling for a range of factors, there are positive revenue effects both from participation in the scheme and, more modestly, from applying organic farming techniques.
