Outgrower schemes have gained prominence as a business model that can benefit both smallholders and investors. Such schemes can improve smallholders’ access to markets, finance, infrastructure, and improved growing techniques; can enhance investors’ access to land, labor, and quality produce; and can improve investor-community relations. Associated risks include overdependency, exploitation of power differences, entrenchment of inequalities, lower-than-expected production, and side-selling. Achieving the potential benefits and minimizing the associated risks requires careful design and implementation. 2018-03-15T21:56:55Z 2018-03-15T21:56:55Z 2018-03 Brief http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/203541521090030245/Outgrower-schemes http://hdl.handle.net/10986/29466 English Responsible Agricultural Investment (RAI) Knowledge Into Action Note,no. 4; CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research Publications & Research :: Brief
