Contract farming is often cited as an example of inclusive business models. Yet, the evidence supporting this claim is still insufficient. Can we ensure that contract farming schemes are really inclusive? How can we avoid small-scale producers finding themselves at the losing end of unequal power relations with agribusinesses? The Sam Moyo African Institute for Agrarian Studies (SMAIAS) and FAO will organise the “International Symposium on Contract Farming and Other Inclusive Business Models” seeking to address these major issues, while gathering evidence on contract farming schemes and inclusive business models in the Global South. The event will take place on 8-9 November 2018 in Harare, Zimbabwe. For more information, click here.
