abstract: 'The value chain comprises several factors and activities useful for
strengthening production and distribution by connecting producers with
suppliers, intermediaries, and marketplaces and collaboratively creating
added value for products or goods. However, the values of agricultural
products mostly depend on various factors and actors, which should be
linked together for fostering added values. Thus, there may be strong
ground for facilitating a smooth transition of the agricultural value
chain (AVC) within the prospects of emerging countries. It could be a
key means of promoting a profound connection between smallholder farmers
and modern agriculture facilities. It could be especially crucial for
the highly perishable and high-value product such as fruits. The main
aims of the study are to evaluate the factors influencing smallholder
apple farmers'' participation in the agricultural value chain and
determine whether participation in AVC improves farmers'' production
performance. The empirical setup of the study was chosen based on survey
data of apple growers in Shandong, China. The propensity score matching
(PSM) and inverse probability weighted regression adjustment (IPWRA)
models were employed to craft the study''s outcomes. The main conclusions
are as follows. (1) Fruit farmers'' gender, total household expenditure,
housing value, planting scale, planting years, degree of specialization,
days of family labour input, and total days of employment have
significant effects on their participation in AVC activities. (2) Fruit
farmers'' usage of improved fertilizers and organization participation
supports a higher yield and net income per acre. (3) Participating in
two kinds of AVC can significantly improve the yield per acre and net
income per acre compared with only using one type of AVC (improved
fertilizer). Policy makers should improve the existing policy by
eliminating institutional barriers and enhancing human factors for
farmers to participate in high-value chain activities. Governments
should extend technical support, and enhance training facilities, and
comprehensively promote the AVC among smallholder farmers. Finally,
farmers'' organizations (e.g., cooperatives and credit organizations)
should come forward to help facilitate the effectiveness of AVC.'
