“…Néanmoins, ces transactions reposent également sur des engagements contractuels informels entre les éleveurs, les éleveurs et les collecteurs privés et enfin les éleveurs et les centres de collecte privés (voir Figure 1). Ce système informel reste un véritable système d'organisation économique et sociale dans la mesure où il parvient à assurer une coordination conjointe au-delà du marché ponctuel, en recourant à des accords réciproques fondés sur la confiance et des relations contractuelles orales (Djermoun et al, 2014in Msaddak et al, 2019.…”

Le degré d’efficacité des contrats formels dans la nouvelle politique laitière algérienne

Dans sa nouveauté, la politique laitière oblige les laiteries, conventionnées préalablement avec l’Etat, à proposer aux producteurs et collecteurs de lait cru des contrats formels et écrits qui doivent, en pratique, contribuer à résoudre ou à limiter les multiples défaillances du marché. De façon exhaustive, il sera question, dans cet article, en mobilisant les outils d’analyse des théories des contrats et des coûts de transaction, d’analyser la nature de ces contrats formels qui lient les laiteries à leurs fournisseurs de lait cru. Cet examen éclairera les pratiques contractuelles dans un processus de coordination verticale d’une filière en dynamique propulsée par les différents soutiens et primes de l’Etat. Ce cas d’étude est original dans la mesure où la relation contractuelle est imposée par l’Etat comme condition sine qua non d’obtention de ces primes et subventions. Il n’est donc pas étonnant que les clauses soient appliquées de façons incomplètes et contournées lorsque les rapports deviennent par trop inégalitaires. Les relations informelles participent à la solution de difficultés rencontrées dans la pratique. Ces contrats n’en sont pas moins des outils de structuration et de modernisation de la filière lait.

“…As part of broader concepts, here again trust is input, enabler, and output. Trust is seen as a key input needed for collective action (Msaddak et al, 2019), but also, as an input that is needed to lower transaction costs (Gerdoci et al, 2015), and as a result emerging from collective action interactions (Msaddak et al, 2019). Moreover, Helin (2012) adds insights on the key role of leaders within collective action, in this case to develop an innovation network, and how through interaction trust in local farmers facilitating the innovation network.…”

Agri-food value chains are complex systems comprising of a network of interlinked and interdependent actors. To foster collaboration between these actors, trust between actors and in value chains is considered to be key. Despite growing scholarly attention an overview of to what extent and how trust is the role of trust in agri-food value chains is lacking. Employing a systematic review, this paper aims to explore the literature on trust in agri-food value chains to provide a solid knowledge basis for future studies into more specific aspects of trust. For our results, 139 papers were analysed published between 2001 and 2020. Studies were mainly conducted in Africa and Europe focussing on meat and vegetable chains. The results show a growing but dispersed field as studies hold a great conceptual diversity and theory building within the field of agri-food value chains is lacking. Based on our analysis we call for developing a coherent body of knowledge exploring the role of trust in agri-food value chains by: (1) employing a dynamic perspective on trust; (2) focussing on trust in agri-food value chain systems; and (3) focussing on the increasing importance of digitalisation for trust relations.

In recent years, despite its hostile environment and harsh climate, the wilaya of Ghardaïa has emerged as a leader in dairy production in southern Algeria. This article sought to analyze how the innovation system in the dairy sector has, positively or negatively, influenced the development of the sector in this region and identify the socio-economic factors and institutions that have contributed to it. To do so, a functional-structural approach was taken. The data used were collected from semi-directive interviews and focus groups with different stakeholders involved in the dairy milk sector. Market restructuring, but also the collective organization, which is very common in the region, were found to be the main factors positively affecting the dairy sector. In addition, lobbying by the dairies and the asymmetry of power between dairy farmers and agri-food industrialists, a lack of collaboration and interaction between actors, a lack of coordination in knowledge development, and a lack of formal financing mechanisms to invest in livestock, turned out to be the factors hindering the innovation system. Finally, although the dairy sector in Ghardaïa attracts investors from the North of Algeria, and is thus a pronounced success in economic and organizational terms, the question of its sustainability is not being considered in these southern territories.
