Resumen en inglés

In developing countries contract farming faces numerous challenges that many times lead to its fail-ure. Innovations that help overcome the difficulties of contracting with a large pool of small farmersin such settings can enhance the viability of such schemes. We use a randomized control trial designcombined with high frequency data to investigate the impact of adding a nutrition-based incentive incontracts between a Senegalese dairy processing factory and its semi-nomadic milk suppliers. The in-centive rewarded suppliers for consistent milk deliveries with daily delivery of a micro-nutrient forti-fied yogurt for each young child in corresponding households. Findings show large and significantimpacts on the frequency and amount of milk delivered, albeit limited to the dry season. We alsofind larger impacts on milk deliveries when contracts are managed by women.< Leer menos
