Aims: Agribusiness sector is facing several challenges due
to a rapid weather and technological changes. This is urged a collective
approach. Literature has acknowledged that agribusiness farms which engage in
collective actions generate greater value-add and enhance socio-economic contributions
of a country. However, its relative importance along with the dynamic
capabilities possessed by farms and subsequently competitive advantage has
received very little research attention. Theoretically, this study examines the
resource-based view in combination with the dynamic capability theories. Study
Design: Specifically, the minor export crop farm owners involved in the
commercial cultivation of cinnamon, pepper and clove in Sri Lanka were surveyed
using a personally-administered, structured questionnaire. Results: The results of regression-based path
analysis indicate a significant relationship between collective actions and
competitive advantage, as well as between collective actions and dynamic capabilities. Conclusion: The study has extended our
understanding of the importance of collective actions for the minor export crop
farm owners. Research and managerial implications are provided together with
future research directions.
