Policy makers generally seek to reduce direct financial aid to farmers and reorient support towards decoupled, direct and environmental payments (Attorp and Hubbard, 2023), as well as promote more efficient input use, to minimise both financial and environmental costs (Sorrentino et al. , 2016).…”

“…Identified entrepreneurial strategies include: on-farm and off-farm diversification (such as agri-tourism, food processing and direct marketing) (Dias et al, 2019); pluriactivity or portfolio income generation (Fitz-Koch et al, 2018); and developing more climate and financially resilient agriculture (Condor, 2020;Shingo and Yagi, 2021). Policy makers generally seek to reduce direct financial aid to farmers and reorient support towards decoupled, direct and environmental payments (Attorp and Hubbard, 2023), as well as promote more efficient input use, to minimise both financial and environmental costs (Sorrentino et al, 2016). Grande et al (2011) contend that EO aids the ability of farmers to successfully navigate this transition whilst McElwee (2006), argues that the role of farmers is changing, with an entrepreneurial mind-set essential in their adjustment to a reformed policy environment.…”

PurposeResearch on entrepreneurial orientation (EO) seeks to understand the EO–performance relationship. However, at a strategic level, performance relates to a competitive advantage and comprises both value-added and efficiency measures. Following arguments that performance is context and strategy dependent, the paper argues that EO research needs to clarify and specify the type of performance relationship measured.Design/methodology/approachTo explore the EO–performance relationship, the research considers the agricultural sector where policy has traditionally encouraged the maximisation of efficiency in production and has only recently promoted entrepreneurship, providing fertile ground to explore different approaches to measuring performance. A survey collected detailed accounting records and context specific EO for 282 commercial farms. The authors estimate two models (Heckman selection regression and stochastic production frontier) that examine the relationships between EO and value-added/efficiency performance outcomes.FindingsThe analysis confirms the EO–value-added performance relationship, with significant positive relationships for the EO components proactiveness and innovativeness and a negative relationship for risk. No EO–efficiency performance relationship was found, despite a robust analysis of technical efficiency using detailed accounting data.Originality/valueThe paper contributes to EO theory by problematizing performance and highlighting the importance of the type of performance measured. This paper contributes empirically with findings relating to a mature industry contributes to entrepreneurship methodology by outlining how EO–performance relationships can be measured in terms of productivity and technical efficiency.
