The eight latent variables are each represented by a circular node with the following labels: “Farmer Training (F T),” “Financial Support (F S),” “Evaluation and Feedback on Farmer’s Quality Performance (E F F Q P),” “Farmer Capability (F C),” “Processor–Farmer Relationship (P F R),” “Economic Sustainability (E S),” “Social Sustainability (S S),” and “Environmental Sustainability (E n v S).” “Farmer Training (F T)” is positioned on the top left. From “F T,” five individual leftward arrows connect to five rectangles positioned to its left in a vertical series labeled from top to bottom as follows: A first arrow with a path coefficient of 0.941 points to “F T 1.” A second arrow with a path coefficient of 0.944 points to “F T 2.” A third arrow with a path coefficient of 0.964 points to “F T 3.” A fourth arrow with a path coefficient of 0.967 points to “F T 4.” A fifth arrow with a path coefficient of 0.937 points to “F T 5.” Below “Farmer Training (F T),” “Financial Support (F S)” is positioned. Eight rightward arrows from eight rectangles point to “Financial Support (F S)” arranged in a vertical series on the left and labeled from top to bottom as follows: “F S 1” with 0.219, “F S 2” with 0.179, “F S 3” with 0.101, “F S 4” with 0.235, “F S 5” with 0.324, “F S 6” with 0.196, “F S 7” with 0.210, and “F S 8” with 0.170. At the bottom left is “Evaluation and Feedback on Farmer’s Quality Performance (E F F Q P).” From “E F F Q P,” three leftward arrows connect to three rectangles labeled from top to bottom as follows: A first arrow with a path coefficient of 0.894 points to “E F 3.” A second arrow with a path coefficient of 0.886 points to “E F 2.” A third arrow with a path coefficient of 0.891 points to “E F 1.” In the top center, “Farmer Capability (F C)” is positioned, with an inner value of 0.759. From “F C,” four upward arrows point to four rectangles arranged in a horizontal series labeled from left to right as follows: “F C 1” with 0.625, “F C 2” with 0.882, “F C 3” with 0.882, and “F C 4” with 0.862. Below “F C,” the circular node “Processor–Farmer Relationship (P F R)” is positioned, with an inner value of 0.630. From “P F R,” three downward arrows connect to three rectangles positioned below and labeled from left to right as follows: “Trust” with 0.910, “Satisfaction” with 0.871, and “Commitment” with 0.678. “Economic Sustainability (E S)” is positioned at the upper right with an inner value of 0.453. Two rectangles are positioned above “E S,” with two downward arrows pointing to it: “E c n S 1” with 0.740 and “E c n S 2” with 0.397. Below “E S,” “Social Sustainability (S S)” is positioned with an inner value of 0.387. Three rectangles are positioned above “S S,” with downward arrows pointing to it: “S o c S 1” with 0.620, “S o c S 2” with 0.422, and “S o c S 3” with 0.331. At the bottom right, “Environmental Sustainability (E n v S)” is positioned with an inner value of 0.462. Three rectangles are positioned above “E n v S,” with downward arrows pointing to it: “E n v S 1” with 0.277, “E n v S 2” with 0.568, and “E n v S 3” with 0.586. The interconnections among the latent variables are represented with arrows having the following standardized path coefficients: A rightward arrow from “Farmer Training (F T)” points to “Farmer Capability (F C)” with a path coefficient of 0.105. A rightward arrow from “Farmer Training (F T)” points to “Processor–Farmer Relationship (P F R)” with a path coefficient of 0.004. A rightward arrow from “Financial Support (F S)” points to “Farmer Capability (F C)” with a path coefficient of 0.174. A rightward arrow from “Financial Support (F S)” points to “Processor–Farmer Relationship (P F R)” with a path coefficient of 0.419. A rightward arrow from “Evaluation and Feedback on Farmer’s Quality Performance (E F F Q P)” points to “Farmer Capability (F C)” with a path coefficient of 0.078. A rightward arrow from “Evaluation and Feedback on Farmer’s Quality Performance (E F F Q P)” points to “Processor–Farmer Relationship (P F R)” with a path coefficient of 0.307. A rightward arrow from “Farmer Capability (F C)” points to “Processor–Farmer Relationship (P F R)” with a path coefficient of 0.127. A rightward arrow from “Farmer Capability (F C)” points to “Economic Sustainability (E S)” with a path coefficient of 0.240. A rightward arrow from “Farmer Capability (F C)” points to “Social Sustainability (S S)” with a path coefficient of 0.281. A rightward arrow from “Farmer Capability (F C)” points to “Environmental Sustainability (E n v S)” with a path coefficient of 0.162. A rightward arrow from “Processor–Farmer Relationship (P F R)” points to “Economic Sustainability (E S)” with a path coefficient of 0.378. A rightward arrow from “Processor–Farmer Relationship (P F R)” points to “Social Sustainability (S S)” with a path coefficient of 0.506. A rightward arrow from “Processor–Farmer Relationship (P F R)” points to “Environmental Sustainability (E n v S)” with a path coefficient of 0.186. There are three control variables labeled “I P,” “H,” and “R.” Five dashed arrows from “H” point to “Farmer Capability (F C),” “Economic Sustainability (E S),” “Social Sustainability (S S),” “Environmental Sustainability (E n v S),” and “Processor–Farmer Relationship (P F R)” with path coefficients of 0.051, 0.041, 0.005, 0.006, and negative 0.058. Five dashed arrows from “R” point to “Farmer Capability (F C),” “Economic Sustainability (E S),” “Social Sustainability (S S),” “Environmental Sustainability (E n v S),” and “Processor–Farmer Relationship (P F R)” with path coefficients of 1.258, 0.244, negative 0.348, 0.771, and 0.149. Three dashed arrows from “I P” point to “Economic Sustainability (E S),” “Social Sustainability (S S),” and “Environmental Sustainability (E n v S)” with path coefficients of negative 0.035, 0.155, and 0.223. At the bottom, a note reads: “Figures in the blue circles are the R-squared values of the endogenous constructs. The figures in de-emphasised paths (shown in hash grey color) show the regression coefficients of the control variables. The incoming arrows from the indicators to a construct show that the construct is formative. The outgoing arrows from the construct to its indicators show that the construct is reflective. The indicator weights are shown for formative constructs while the indicator loadings are shown for reflective constructs. All regression coefficients, indicator loadings (outer loadings), and indicator weights are reported in standardized units.”SmartPLS output of the statistical model. Source: Authors’ own work
