Synopsis (short abstract) Large scale land acquisitions in southern countries have stimulated new debates on land governance and agricultural development models. This study examines the impacts of large investments associated to contract farming in a long-term time perspective (10 to 50 years). It is based on case studies in seven countries in Africa and Asia and on a few major commodities such as: oil palm, rubber tree, fruits and vegetables, cereals, cotton and sugar cane. Executive summary available in English. Full text in French.

    In order to check and promote the positive synergies between private companies and rural households, an analysis of past and ongoing experiences of contract farming is required. It represents the main objective of this report. The objectives of this study are to: describe the effects of contract farming schemes, characterize the factors limiting or promoting these various impacts, identify key findings to promote the emergence of positive synergies. The study’ considers a long-term time scale (10 to 50 years) and pays particular attention to changes in agricultural farming, production systems, access to markets and governance patterns of value chains. The study also analyzes how crops initially introduced thanks to contract farming schemes develop “off contract” and induce new value chain. The study focuses on seven countries - Ivory Coast, Ghana, Burkina Faso, Kenya, South-Africa, Laos and Indonesia – and major commodities such as: oil palm, rubber tree, fruits and vegetables, cere als, cotton and sugar cane. It is organized into 4 sections: i) the contract schemes, ii) the effects of these schemes, iii) the factors determining the nature and intensity of these effects and iv) key findings to promote positive synergies. Case studies are briefly presented in the appendix.

    Les appropriations foncières à grande échelle dans les pays du Sud ont ravivé les débats sur la gouvernance foncière et les modèles de développement du secteur agricole. L’étude examine les effets des grands investissements agricoles dans le cadre de l’agriculture sous contrat (contract farming), et dans une perspective de long terme (10 à 50 ans). Elle se base sur des études de cas conduites dans sept pays d’Afrique et d’Asie et sur quelques filières de production : palmier à huile, hévéa, frui ts et légumes, céréales, coton, canne à sucre.

    Las adquisiciones de tierras a gran escala en los países del Sur han abierto nuevos debates sobre la gobernanza de la tierra y los modelos de desarrollo agrícola. Este estudio analiza los impactos de las grandes inversiones asociadas a la agricultura por contrato en una perspectiva a largo plazo (de 10 a 50 años). Está basado en estudios de casos realizados en siete países de África y Asia sobre algunos de los productos básicos más importantes como: palma de aceite, caucho, frutas y verduras, ce reales, algodón y caña de azúcar.
