23Club varieties are protected horticultural varieties that farmers can grow only with the agreement of the intellectual property right holder (breeder). They con-tribute to the development of vertically coordinated value chains where breeders act as leading firms, because they can control both production and marketing of the pro-tected variety. Despite the breeders’ bargaining power, farmers find club contractual conditions more favourable than those usually offered for non-patented varieties. We hypothesize that breeders may have no incentive to contract all interested farmers in order to avoid expanding production and take advantage of the legal monopoly grant-ed by current regulations. Thus, breeders are expected to select farmers according to an efficiency criterion instead of just licensing all applying farmers. Empirical results from the Agro-Pontino kiwifruit industry support this hypothesis. The results of a question-naire, submitted to farmers, and of semi-structured interviews targeting key actors of the kiwifruit supply chains, confirmed the selection hypothesis and allow possible selection criteria applied to identify growers of yellow-flesh kiwifruit to be found. A logit-regression model was run using the questionnaire results, while information col-lected through the semi-structured interviews guided the identification of variables to be included in the model as well as interpretation of the results
