Abstract
This article aims to identify the attributes that can be motivated smallholders to enter into contract farming schemes for the production and sale of tomatoes. They interviewed 197 volunteer smallholders were among six regions of Samarkand province. Discrete Choice Experiment and Conditional Logistic Regression Models applied to analyze the importance of contract design attributes and Willingness-to-accept. Output market and quality assurance uncertainties studies are more important than input market uncertainties. Smallholders are inclined to arrange the contract with buyers and full-input resources suppliers. The availability of written agreements for smallholders founded that to increase the readiness to enter into a contract scheme by 80.3% and fully input resources provision by 12.7%. Sorting, a month before and after payment and delivery to the buyer place attributes are negatively affected. The results pointed out interesting insights that smallholders would not be inclined to non-guaranteed price and market. They want to produce products on a contract basis with buyers and suppliers or entities to minimize risks and guarantee returns.
