  ABSTRACT: While many studies have separately examined the role of agribusiness clusters and contract farming in shaping farmers’ performance, empirical evidence on their joint association with farmers’ income remains limited, particularly in the context of vegetable value chains in West Africa. This study analyzes the combined association between agribusiness cluster membership and participation in formal contract farming and the net income of tomato producers in Benin, measured in XOF per hectare. The analysis draws on primary data collected from 237 tomato producers selected through cluster random sampling and relies on Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression. Results from Model 1 (without covariates) indicate a positive and statistically significant association between the interaction of cluster membership and contract farming and net income (p
