The Aokian interpretation of contract farming as frictional equilibria and its operationalization in analyzing contract farming as component stages acknowledges that farmers and firms learn, adapt and respond to their experience with contracting over time. These changes in decisions can happen at the margin, wherein the contract farming scheme itself remains largely unchanged, but such changes can also alter the essential character of the arrangements or thwart its survival if they exceed a threshold. This chapter dwells on the dynamics of contract farming schemes, drawing on empirical evidence globally and from India that suggests that firm and farmer strategies and contexts could evolve over time, with possible implications for the survival of the contract farming scheme itself.
