Why this matters: Contracts can improve access and certainty but may create dependency or unfair terms. The central tension is between signing structured buyer agreements and selling freely across markets. This is a welcoming space for evidence, practical experience and respectful disagreement. Discussion safeguard: Discuss agrochemicals and farm inputs responsibly. Emphasise label directions, protective equipment, local registration and qualified agricultural advice.
