چکیده

توجه به ترجیحات کشاورزان، به‌عنوان اصلی­ترین فعالان بازارهای آتی محصولات کشاورزی، در موفقیت قراردادهای دادوستدپذیر در این بازارها مؤثر است. بر مبنای شواهد تجربی در ایران، یکی از ترجیحات مهم تولیدکنندگان در ارتباط با بازار محصولات کشاورزی، موضوع نیاز مالی آنان است. در این راستا، هدف کلی مطالعه حاضر، تعیین جایگاه نیاز مالی کشاورزان در توفیق یا عدم توفیق قراردادهای آتی از سوی کشاورزان بود. جامعه آماری این مطالعه را کشاورزان برنج­کار شهرستان ساری تشکیل دادند که از میان آنها 272 کشاورز از طریق روش نمونه­گیری تصادفی به عنوان نمونه انتخاب شدند. به منظور دستیابی به هدف اصلی این مطالعه، اثر دو مؤلفه­ میزان شناخت از بازارهای آتی و تأمین نیاز مالی کشاورز به‌عنوان متغیرهای مکنون مستقل، در کنار تعدادی متغیرهای مکنون وابسته میانی، بر میزان پذیرش قرارداد آتی، به­عنوان متغیر مکنون وابسته اصلی، در چارچوب یک مدل ساختار کوواریانس بررسی شد. نتایج نشان داد متغیر تأمین مالی کشاورز اثر معنادار و مثبتی بر میزان پذیرش قرارداد آتی دارد، بنابراین، ضروری است که قراردادهای آتی به‌گونه‌ای طراحی و بومی­سازی شوند که علاوه بر پوشش ریسک قیمتی تولیدکنندگان، ریسک مالی آنها را نیز پوشش دهند.

چکیده [English]

Considering the farmer’s preferences as the main participants of agricultural futures markets affects the success of tradable contracts in these markets. According to the empirical evidences in Iran, one of the most important producers’ preferences about agricultural markets is their financial needs. In this context, the purpose of this study is determining the importance of the financial needs of farmers in the success or failure of futures contracts. The statistical population of this study is rice farmers of Sari County, which 272 farmers were selected through random sampling method as sample. In order to achieve the main purpose of this study, the effects of two variables of “level of understanding of futures markets” and “financing of farmers” as independent latent variables, along with the numbers of middle dependent latent variables on the “level of acceptance of futures contracts” as the main dependent latent variable was investigated using a Covariance Structure Model framework. Based on the results, farmers financing has a significant and positive effect on the level of acceptance of futures contracts. So, it is necessary that future contracts are designed and localized in such a way that in addition to hedging the price risk of producers, their financial risk is also can be hedged.
