description | This paper discusses contractual features to manage and coordinate a hypothetical bio-energy supply chain. The present study focuses on farmers operating in two Regions of Italy, namely Sicily and Campania, somewhat representative of areas with high potential of investments in new bioenergy supply value chain. Farmers were asked to choose whether to participate or not in a collective investment regulated by contract schemes. Monetary trade-offs were then computed among contract attributes. A specific questionnaire was submitted to a sample of farmers selected on the basis of their potential capability of investments. A stated preference modelling approach was implemented so that farmers could make a choice between alternative contracts reporting varying attribute levels. If energy-producing companies are paying attention to biofuel production aiming at a diversification of their activities, results show that farmers ' participation needs to be managed through contracts that take care of investment length, warranty on investment return, and risk management. Keywords: Algal biomass, Choice Modelling, Biofuel Cette etude a pour objectif de parcourir les caracteristiques contractuelles pour la gestion et la coordination d'une chame potentielle d'approvisionnement de bioenergie. L'attention est focalisee sur un ensemble d'agriculteurs qui travaillent dans deux regions italiennes, a savoir la Sicile et la Campanie. Ces deux regions sont considerees comme etant assez representatives des zones a fort potentiel d'investissement dans la nouvelle chame de production de bioenergie. On a laisse le choix aux agriculteurs de participer a un investissement collectif reglemente par des regimes contractuels. Les arbitrages monetaires entre les differents attributs du contrat ont successivement ete calcules. Un questionnaire specifique a ete soumis a un echantillon d'agriculteurs selectionnes sur la base de leur potentiel d'investissement. Une approche de modelisation des preferences declarees a ete utilisee afin que les agriculteurs choisissent entre les contrats alternatifs representant plusieurs niveaux d'attributs. Si d'un cote les entreprises de production d'energie s'interessent de pres a la production de biocarburants pour la diversification de leurs activites, les resultats montrent que la participation des agriculteurs doit etre geree par des contrats qui prennent en compte la longueur de l'investissement, l'assurance sur le rendement et la gestion des risques.
