Does agricultural cooperative membership impact technical efficiency of maize production in Nigeria: An analysis correcting for biases from observed and unobserved attributes

The formation of agricultural cooperatives has been widely promoted as an agricultural development policy initiative to help smallholder farmers cope with multiple production and marketing challenges. Using a nationally representative survey dataset of smallholder maize producers from rural Nigeria,...

Abstract The formation of agricultural cooperatives has been widely promoted as an agricultural development policy initiative to help smallholder farmers cope with multiple production and marketing challenges. Using a nationally representative survey dataset of smallholder maize producers from rural Nigeria, this study assesses the impact of agricultural cooperative membership on technical efficiency (TE). We based our estimation approach on the combination of a newly developed sample selection stochastic production frontier model with propensity score matching to control for possible selectivity biases from both observables and unobservables. We estimate stochastic meta-frontiers to examine TE differences between cooperative members and non-members. Our results reveal that TE levels of members are consistently higher than that of non-members. This calls for continued policy incentives targeted at encouraging farmers to form as well as participate in agricultural cooperatives.
AbstractList The formation of agricultural cooperatives has been widely promoted as an agricultural development policy initiative to help smallholder farmers cope with multiple production and marketing challenges.

This calls for continued policy incentives targeted at encouraging farmers to form as well as participate in agricultural cooperatives.
[...]the unclear empirical relationship between cooperative membership and TE requires further re-examination. [...]we provide the first attempt, in the Nigeria context, to examine the impact of agricultural cooperatives on TE of maize farmers while making sure that we corrected for potential sources of selection biases from unobserved attributes by employing a selectivity-corrected stochastic frontier technique developed by Greene [22] and propensity score matching approach to correct for the selection bias stemming from observable factors. [...]in reality, farmer’s decision to join cooperatives is non-random which simply implies that such a decision is based on the individual farmer’s self-selection into membership. [...]the duo of unobserved factors (such as risk behaviour and farmer managerial skills) and observed factors (such as household size, literacy level, and age) may affect farmer’s decision to participate which may lead to sample selection bias. [...]we assess the farm managerial, socioeconomic and plot-specific factors affecting the decision of maize farmers to participate in agricultural cooperatives, using a comprehensive survey data that cuts across the six geopolitical zones of Nigeria.
