قياس أثر تكاليف معاملات شراء الحاصدات الزراعية بالأجل في الربح المزرعي لمزارعي القمح والشعير في محافظة بغداد

Abstract EN

The research aims to analyze the effect of transaction costs resulting from the purchase of harvesters by deferred payment method on the profitability of wheat and barley farmers in Baghdad province.

to achieve this goal, a stratified sample was selected that included 150 farmers of wheat and barley farmers in the governorate, and the data was collected through a questionnaire form prepared for this purpose.

the research followed the descriptive and quantitative method in analyzing the data and extracting the required results.

the results of the logistic regression analysis showed that some elements of the transaction cost, such as the time saving and the level of investment allocated to the harvesters, have an important role in choosing the futures market for agricultural crops.

the results of the multiple regression of the estimated farm profit model for harvester services also showed that the purchase decision in terms of transaction costs had a significant effect on the farm profit of the studied sample.

the research recommended the necessity of reducing the time required when conducting the transaction and signing a contract with the other party, because reducing the time will reduce the uncertainty of the other party's behavior in its credibility towards the processing of harvester services with the specifications required by the farmer.
