Overview

Cross-sectional analysis shows blockchain receipts enhance trade finance access and prices for sesame farmers, suggesting a pathway for financial inclusion.

Key Points

  • This research aims to determine if blockchain-secured warehouse receipts provide a price premium to sesame farmers by enhancing trade finance access.
  • Conducted a cross-sectional survey of sesame farmers using blockchain-secured receipts and a control group with conventional receipts.
  • Collected data on sale prices, financing terms, and perceived trust.
  • Utilized econometric techniques, including hedonic price modeling, to assess the impact of blockchain on pricing.
  • Farmers utilizing blockchain-secured receipts achieved an 8.7% average price premium over the control group.
  • A 15% reduction in interest rates on advance payments was observed due to increased lender confidence.
  • Formal financial institutions showed a greater willingness to provide credit to farmers using blockchain technology.
