Contract farming has gained popularity in recent years. Understanding farmers' preferences for contracts can help make contracts more sustainable and profitable. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate farmers' preferences for rapeseed sales contracts in Iran. Farmers' preferences were examined using a choice experiment and conditional logit models. The statistical population was rapeseed farmers in Mazandaran province and the required data were obtained through questionnaire completion. The results showed that the attributes of input supply, the existence of incentives, pricing method, provision of technical and consulting services, and price all having a positive and significant effect on farmers' preference for choosing a farming contract. However, the attribute of contract duration has a negative and significant effect on farmers' preference for choosing farming contracts. Aligning contract conditions with farmers' preferences helps design more effective and equitable contractual arrangements, maximize farmers' profits, and ultimately contribute to agricultural and rural development.
