This chapter investigates the nexus between entrepreneurship and rural development, focusing on a comparative analysis of female and male entrepreneurs. Conducted in the Fes-Meknes region of Morocco, the research aims to explore how the characteristics of entrepreneurs influence their impact on rural development initiatives. We surveyed a sample of...
We present an econometric analysis of the marketing of apples in Morocco that investigates the relationship between vertical coordination arrangements and the prices of apples for farmers. In this study, the hedonic method is used to evaluate the vertical coordination of apple fruit chains by analyzing the marginal implicit price of different produ...
Conservation tillage practices, especially no-till, can improve soil quality, productivity, and environmental protection compared to conventional tillage practices. This research evaluated the impact of different tillage practices: deep ploughing (DP), chisel ploughing (CP), minimum till (MT), and no-till (NT) on faba bean (Vicia faba L.) agronomic...
In Morocco, agricultural aggregation projects (AAP) have been launched since a decade as being a form of vertical coordination aimed at correcting the marketing failure associated with spot markets arising due to information asymmetry as being behind the risks in marketing decision-making. AAP is considered to be the key-stone of national agricultu...
Morocco is facing a significant threat to food grain production due to climate change, with an important incline in temperature and a decline in precipitation. Conservation agriculture (CA) is an important tool to confront soil fertility depletion and the adverse effects of climate change. The objective of this work was to compare and evaluate the...
Rural entrepreneurship in the developing world has long been hailed as a powerful tool for promoting the socioeconomic integration of young people and the key to avoiding rural depopulation as well as ensuring these areas remain attractive places for rural youth.

Contract farming (CF) has long been practiced but is since the launch of Green Plan of Morocco (PMV) it has regained an important interest with noticeable diversification in structures and involved actors. Under
CF, aggregators (AG) and aggregated (Ag) make advance agreements and clauses on volume, quality, time of delivery, use of inputs, and pric...
The objective of this study was to determine the effects of silicon on the growth and grain yield of bread wheat and durum wheat. The trial was conducted at the greenhouse at INRA Meknes Morocco using a Randomized Complete Block design with three replications in 2016/2017. Two factors (1-Dose of Silicon; Si-= 0 and Si+ = 400 kg Si/ha), and 2-Genoty...

This work aimed to improve the efficiency of continuous deficit irrigation (CDI) on plum tree through
using symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). Thus, an experiment was conducted in
pots to evaluate the effects of arbuscular mycorrhization on the growth of young plum trees, in two
cases of CDI (50% and 75% of full crop evapotranspirat...
A field study was conducted to determine the effects of sowing date on the growth and yield of different bread wheat genotypes in two locations of Morocco (the plain of Saïs; Douyet and the Atlas Montaigne; Annoceur). The trial was conducted using a randomized complete block design with three replications in 2011/2012 and 2012/2013. The chosen date...

We aim to Measuring Transaction Costs (Ex Ante and Ex Post) in contractual relationship. While there exist various accepted methods for estimating these costs, what is the best method for measuring transaction costs in the case of contract farming? We will really appreciate if you can provide us some literature or provide some suggestions on Methodology for Measuring Transaction Costs : methods to estimate true costs ?
