Abstract

In this study, the collaboration between buyer and the famers in potato production was evaluated by using a multinomial Logistic regression model with MLE estimating. The data were collected by directly interviewing of 245 farmers at the Xuan Tho commune, Da Lat city and Don Duong district, Lam Dong province. Results of the research showed that a tight collaboration between the companies and farmers would increase in a higher productivity. The estimation showed that the probability of farmer which would and would not collaborate with buyer were 14.6% (Y2/Y1) and 63.0% (Y3/Y1). The factors affecting the proability of linkages between enterprises and farmers were enterprises and farmers were experience, farm, size, profit, policy supports and gender. The results also revealed that when price of potatoes increase, farmers would not comply with argreement.
