ملخص

This paper investigates the role of trust in fostering cooperation among actors in the value chain. Trust is explored using a game simulation which allows dairy farmers to experiment and consider strategies of cooperation within the value chain. The game data was combined with that of a survey administered beforehand to investigate what determines trust. The experiment was done over four sessions in five different regions. The results showed that both a farmer’s reputation and experience were key determinants positively affecting level of trust, whereas cheating on milk quality and opportunistic behavior negatively affected trust.
