“…Generally, regardless of the specific contractual format, the premium price paid depending on the grain quality is welcomed by the agricultural actors. However, the economic bonus must be really stimulating for farmers to reach both a higher price paid (Jang and Olson, 2010;Jarzebowski et al, 2013) and higher quality (Carillo, 2016;Zanni and Viaggi, 2012).…”

“…The analysis of price volatility is essential to the study of supply chain contracts, carried out through interviews with privileged witnesses operating in the cereal sector, in order to identify their efficiency and effectiveness in guaranteeing fair profitability to farmers. Supply chain contracts are finding it easier to spread along the pasta supply chain (Solazzo et al, 2015;Zanni and Viaggi, 2012) for the durum wheat production, which represents its key element (Carillo, 2016;Jang and Olson, 2010).…”

“…The purpose of this study is to analyse price volatility of agricultural commodities to assess the effectiveness of supply chain contracts in building stable relationships between producers, processing industries and distributors, with the aim of guaranteeing both fair purchase prices paid to producers (Bailey et al, 2021;Jang and Olson, 2010;Jarzebowski et al, 2013) and high qualitative standards (Carillo, 2016).…”

The aim of this study is to analyse the volatility of agricultural commodity prices and assess the effectiveness of supply chain contracts as possible tools to prevent it. The study refers to the cereal sector, which is of vital importance for the agri-food system of the Mediterranean area. Since Italy is the world’s largest producer of durum wheat semolina, the proper functioning of the Italian durum wheat supply chain is central to this investigation. The study was conducted following two different paths of analysis: (1) the calculation of volatility indices using annual and monthly data of durum wheat prices, both organic and industrial, observed in the Bologna Commodity Exchange (AGER); (2) the analysis of two organic durum wheat supply chain contracts, defined by a cooperative involving hundreds of Italian farms mainly from the Marche region and by an agricultural consortium operating in the Adriatic regions. Despite the limited number of cases examined, the present study shows how supply chain contracts can be valid tools for building stable relationships between the various players, from production to processing and distribution, guaranteeing farms fairer and more remunerative raw material purchase prices and higher quality standards.

This study aims at assessing if benefits, based on the economic performance of farms operating in an agro-food supply chain, are generated by a vertical coordination. A panel data (2008)(2009)(2010)(2011) of durum wheat producers was used, namely the Italian Farm Accountancy Data Network (FADN). Outcomes of coordinated and non-coordinated farms with equal farm and farmer characteristics were calculated through different economic performance measures. A propensity score-matching model was implemented to take account of the selection bias due to observed individual heterogeneity. The comparisons of average differences in farm economic performance indexes, including costs and profitability, show a coordination premium in competitiveness and profitability of Italian durum wheat farms.
