Heterogeneous Climatic Impacts on Agricultural Production: Evidence from Rice Yield in Assam, India
Understanding the nature and extent of climatic impacts on agricultural productivity under a variety of scenarios is extremely important for developing countries, where a sizable portion of the population relies on agriculture for life and livelihood. Thus, this paper presents evidence of...Volume 15 Issue No. 1 (June 2018) -
Yield and Income Effects of Ecologically-based Rodent Management in Mekong River Delta, Vietnam
Regression-based strategies along with propensity score matching (PSM) were used to assess the farm-level economic impact of community action (CA) strategies associated with ecologically based rodent management (EBRM). The paddy yield and real net income of rice farmer beneficiaries of the EBRM...Volume 13 Issue No. 2 (December 2016) -
Rice Yield Gap between Myanmar and Vietnam: A Matter of Price Policy or Public Investment in Technology?
This paper examines the rice yield gap between Myanmar and Vietnam, two countries that show a stark contrast in terms of rice production in the past two decades. It considers the impact on yield of price policies and public investments in production technology. While domestic rice prices were once...Volume 10 Issue No. 1 (June 2013) -
Effect of Integrated Rice-Duck Farming on Rice Yield, Farm Productivity, and Rice-Provisioning Ability of Farmers
The feasibility of the rice-duck system of rice production, practiced in some East Asian countries, is studied in Bangladesh as a sub-project of the Poverty Elimination Through Rice Research Assistance (PETRRA). The Bangladesh Rice Research Institute (BRRI) implements the sub-project in...Volume 2 Issue No. 1&2 (December 2005) -
Effects of Farm Income Diversification and Labor Out-Migration on Rice Household Productivity in Indonesia
This study analyzed the impact of income diversification on agricultural output in Indonesia. We specifically focused on the effects of the cultivation of multiple crops, household heads’ employment in non-agricultural sectors, and regional differences in paddy rice productivity per area. We...Volume 21 Issue No. 2 (December 2024) -
The Microeconomics of Agricultural Development: Risk, Institutions, and Agricultural Policy
Assertions of pervasive inefficiency in the behavior and organization of developing agriculture are found to be based on unsound methodologies. Models apparently based on expected utility theory are theoretically flawed and use highly restrictive assumptions that make them largely irrelevant for...Volume 21 20th Anniversary Issue (October 2024) -
Farming Systems and GAP Adoption in JASS Coffee in Tlahab, Temanggung Regency, Indonesia
Farming systems provide information about the complexity of agriculture at the household level in a region. In Temanggung, Indonesia, the Java Arabica Sindoro-Sumbing (JASS) coffee intercropped with tobacco and vegetables provides an interesting interaction study. Despite its potential, no in-depth...Volume 21 Issue No. 1 (June 2024) -
Digital Technology Adoption and Potential in Southeast Asian Agriculture
While the rural agriculture sector has traditionally been seen as backward relative to the urban industrial and services sectors, it is a potential “low-hanging fruit” ripe for a much-needed digital transformation for agricultural development. ASEAN has seen a U-turn in progress in...Volume 20 Issue No. 2 (December 2023) -
Enabling Adoption of Stress-Tolerant Rice Varieties and Associated Production Management Technologies by Smallholder Farmers in Cambodia
Smallholder rice farmers in four target provinces surrounding Tonle Sap Lake in Cambodia face problems of crop failures and low yields due to biotic and abiotic factors and a lack of suitable seeds and technologies. This paper reviews the status of rice production in the four areas and discusses the...Volume 20 Issue No. 1 (June 2023) -
Perceptions on the Challenges of Banana Cultivation and Bio-Based Technology Use Among Malaysian Smallholder Farmers
Bananas are one of the most commonly grown fruit crops in Malaysia, but local production has declined in recent years. Through site visits and interviews with 74 smallholder banana farmers, this study sought to know the current situation of the local smallholder banana industry, the challenges faced...Volume 19 Issue No. 2 (December 2022)
