Corporate intervention in agriculture through contract farming is seen as an essential link between corporate business and the farmer. The role of the corporate sector has increased considerably in almost all spheres of economic activity, including the agricultural sector. It is often felt that corporate farming has considerable potential in countries where small- scale agriculture continues to be widespread as small scale farmers would better perform with access to the services provided by contract farming companies.
