The Cost

Low profit from most staple food production in Nigeria, have continued to discourage the teaming unemployed Nigerian youth from taking up farming as a business. Therefore, this study analyzes the cost and economic returns in Ebonyi State rice production. This study made used of simple random sampling techniques to select 242 rice farmers. The study employed the use of structured questionnaire in its primary data collection. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (Percentages, Frequency, Standard deviation and Mean), Net Rice Farming Income (NRFI) and Returns/US Dollar Invested (RUSDI). The result from the analysis reveals that rice production is profitable in Ebonyi state. The Net Rice Farming Income (NRFI) obtained by the farmers in Ebonyi state were $900.10 US Dollar per hectare while the return on investment obtained by them were $2.90 US Dollar per hectare. Therefore, unemployed youth in Nigeria should be encourage through provision of rice farming grant or loan by the government. In addition, adequate training on improve technology should be conducted by the government agency for the rice farmers.

The study was conducted in Sahibganj district of Jharkhand. There are 9 blocks in Sahibganj district. Five blocks are selected for study, namely Sahibganj, Rajmahal, Barharwa, Taljhari and Udhwa. All these block cultivated paddy as a main crop. Using simple random sampling technique, twenty five farmers were selected from each of the five selected villages from each block, making total 125 respondents for the study. The study has clearly brought out that the major constraints perceived by farmers were technical constraints related to non availability of inputs at time, financial constraints related to high cost of inputs, and extension constraints related to lack of training on new production technology of paddy. In order to improve rice production and overcome the perceived constraints, rice growers suggested the construction and regular maintenance of adequate rice farming infrastructure, particularly those related to irrigation and drainage, improvement of extension system through training, demonstration, information through different channels), availability of inputs at reasonable price and the provision of crop insurance.

Abstract This study is focused on analysing the economics of rice production by the small-holder female rice-farmers in Adamawa State, Nigeria. Specifically, the study described female rice-farmers’ socio-economic characteristics, analysed their technical and allocative efficiencies, and also assessed their economic efficiency in the area. Primary data were collected from 180 randomly selected female rice-farmers in Adamawa State using a semi-structured questionnaire. Descriptive statistics and stochastic frontier function were used analysing the data collected. Findings of the study revealed that the technical in-efficiency of the farmers is influenced by farming experience, education, and access to credit facilities. Also, the allocative in-efficiency of female farmers was influenced by education, household size, and access to credits. The result showed that education and access to credit facilities were common factors affecting the technical and allocative efficiency of female rice farmers in the area. The mean economic efficiency of the female farmers was 0.6. Therefore, the study recommends that the government and other actors in the agricultural sector should facilitate women’s access to credit facilities and other agricultural information relevant to rice production.

This study analysed the factors affecting the adoption of organic rice production in Chachoengsao Province, Thailand. Primary data were collected through structured questionnaire completed by 108 farmers: (58 organic rice farmers and 50 non-organic rice farmers) in Chachoengsao Province, Thailand. A t-test was employed to investigate the differences in the demographics of organic and non-organic rice farmers, and percentage mean, and standard deviation was used to describe farmers’ attitudes. Logistic regression was employed to investigate factors influencing organic rice adoption, educational level, and farm size were significantly different between the organic and non-organic rice farmers. Education (positive), farming experience (positive), age of household head (negative) and farm size (negative) had highly significant (p ≤ 0.01) influences on organic farming adoption. The farmers’ attitude toward environmental concern was the most important reason for adopting organic rice farming. This research identified the factors affecting the adoption of organic rice farming; this information can be used to encourage farmers to practice organic rice farming in the targeted organic rice area in Thailand. In addition, the farmers’ attitudes toward organic farming systems could be used to help support farmers practicing organic rice farming.

One of the efforts to improve rice production and productivity In Provinsi Jambi is by using Senam Dua (Sekali Tanam Dua Kali Panen). Senam Dupa means one-time cultivation with two harvests, a rice-farming approach in tidal land that combines traditional rice cultivation systems (Crop Index 100 local rice varieties) with intensive farming (high-yielding variety) in one overlay to achieve Crop Index 180. Kecamatan Berbak is one of the rice production centers in Tanjung Jabung Timur, Jambi. Senam Dupa has been introduced in order to increase rice production In Kecamatan Berbak. This is due to the tidal type of rice field in Kecamatan Berbak, and difficult water regulation, so it is not possible to plant two times. The increased rice production and productivity will be followed by increased farmers income. The purpose of this research are to know the income of rice farming that using Senam Dupa system and conventional system, and to see the difference of farmer income. This research uses primary data that obtained from farmer interviews with a questionnaire guide. Then the obtained data is tabulated and processed with SPSS software. The analysis methode used in this research is the difference of two means test methode. The results of this research indicate that Zhitung (5,099) ≥ Ztabel (1,645), so that the hypothesis stating that the income of Senam Dupa is higher than the conventional rice farmers is acceptable. Senam Dupa rice farmers income Rp. 2,050,588,7 /ha/month at 95% degree of confidence significantly higher than the income of conventional rice farmers that is equal to Rp. 1.770.083.06 /Ha/month.Keyword : Senam Dupa, Kecamatan Berbak, Farmer Income.Salah satu upaya peningkatan produksi dan produktivitas padi Di Provinsi Jambi adalah dengan cara Senam Dupa (Sekali Tanam Dua Kali Panen). Teknologi Senam Dupa diistilahkan dengan sekali menanam dua kali panen, yaitu sebuah pendekatan usaha tani padi di lahan pasang surut yang memadukan sistem budidaya padi tradisional (IP 100 varietas padi lokal) dengan pertanian intensif (varietas unggul) dalam satu hamparan sehingga mencapai IP 180. Kecamatan Berbak merupakan salah satu kecamatan sentra produksi padi yang terdapat pada Kabupaten Tanjung Jabung Timur, Jambi. Guna peningkatan produksi padi Di Kecamatan Berbak  telah diperkenalkan sistem Senam Dupa. Hal ini dikarenakan jenis sawah pada Kecamatan Berbak adalah sawah pasang surut, dan pengaturan tata air tidak mudah, sehingga tidak memungkinkan untuk melakukan penanaman dua kali. Peningkatan produksi dan produktivitas padi akan diikuti dengan peningkatan pendapatan petani. Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk mengetahui besarnya pendapatan usaha tani padi yang menerapkan sistem Senam Dupa dan sistem konvensional, serta melihat perbedaan pendapatan petani yang menerapkan sistem Senam Dupa dan petani yang menerapkan sistem konvensional. Penelitian ini menggunakan data primer yang didapatkan dari wawancara petani dengan panduan kuesioner, kemudian data yang diperoleh ditabulasi, dan diolah dengan software SPSS. Metode analisis yang digunakan adalah metode uji beda dua rata-rata. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa Zhitung(5,099) ≥ Ztabel (1,645) sehingga hipotesis yang menyatakan bahwa pendapatan petani padi sistem Senam Dupa yang lebih tinggi dari petani padi sistem Konvensional dapat diterima.

A study was conducted to analyze the production economics and factors contributing to the gross return of rice production in the Gorkha district of Nepal in 2020, where a rice block was established under the Prime Minister Agriculture Modernization Project (PM-AMP). Altogether, 76 rice-growing farmers were selected as a sample by using a simple random sampling technique. Primary data were collected by using a pre-tested interview schedule, while secondary data were collected by reviewing related literature. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, chi-square, independent sample t-tests, and Cobb-Douglas production function. The results showed that the average landholding was 0.74 ha and the average area under rice cultivation was 0.52 ha, with a productivity of 3 mt ha-1. The findings revealed that the cost of rice production for small farmers was significantly higher (NRs. 171466 ha-1) than that for large farmers (NRs. 132088 ha-1). The study reveals that investment in rice cultivation was economically viable in the study area because the overall B: C ratio was greater than one (1.17). The production function analysis reveals that a 10% increase in expenditure on seeds, total labor, and nutrients, keeping all other variables constant, could increase the gross return of rice by 2.97%, 2.19%, and 0.62%, respectively. The sum of coefficients was 0.56, reflecting a decreasing return to scale. Thus, a 100% increase in expenditure on variables presented in the model caused a 56% increase in the gross return of rice production. The findings suggest that human and bullock labor needs to be replaced by the use of farm machinery. Hence, the cost of cultivation would be reduced with the improvement in production and the gross returns of rice cultivation.

Credit has provided a way to meet the requirements for rice production and household needs especially during the period when farmers wait for their harvest. Further examination on timing of funds of rice farmers is necessary so that their demand for credit can be sufficiently met. The study aimed to evaluate the credit needs of rice farmer-households in Tayabas City located in Quezon Province, Philippines. This was done by interviewing 90 randomly selected rice farmers with an aid of pre-tested questionnaire. The households’ credit needs were assessed using funds flow analysis. Households’ credit needs are the amount of deficit incurred from spending all expenditures. It was found out that farmers’ demand for credit was at maximum during the months of December and June since these months were the start of cropping periods. Thus, they acquired necessary inputs and paid laborers. On the other hand, no demand for credit was observed during the months of March, April, August, September, and October. This was due to significant amount of income earned from rice farming and other farms. The findings of the study provide some implications on timing of credit distribution and monitoring of clients’ funds flow. Furthermore, sufficient livelihood programs must be provided by the government to offset capital insufficiency especially during period of waiting for harvest.

Abstract Rice production community enterprises (RPCEs) have emerged in Thailand as a group initiative supported by the government to help address the challenges of rice farmers in rural areas. However, farmers still faced problems due to a lack of targeted programs and policies to improve the enterprise’s roles in the community. This study investigated farmer-members’ perception of an RPCE’s specific roles. Primary data were collected through a structured questionnaire administered to 201 farmers in Sanam Chai Khet District, Chachoengsao Province, Thailand. Data were analyzed using the weighted average index (WAI) method to assess the farmers’ perception of the RPCE’s roles. Results reveal that RPCE members have a strong perception of the enterprise’s role in increasing their income. Other roles such as knowledge and skills improvement, supplying inputs at a fair price, increasing social network, product competition with rivals, and provision of credit facilities, were rated as medium, demonstrating the considerable efforts exerted by RPCEs to improving its members. Moreover, a weak rating was given by members for the enterprise’s role as a saving source implying that government should further intensify its support for RPCEs in terms of promoting the saving behavior among members. This study suggests that stronger policy support should be given to upgrade RPCEs based on how members perceived them. This would encourage more member participation and secure more benefits and income for members of the community enterprise.

This paper analysed the economics of rice production in central agricultural zone of Adamawastate, Nigeria. Purposive and simple random sampling techniques were used to collect primary data from 130rice farmers through field survey using well designed pre-tested schedule. Descriptive statistics, costconcept, stochastic frontier cost model, as well as Garrett’s ranking technique were used to analysed the data.The results revealed that rice production was dominated by young literate men who had been in riceproduction for more than 20 years. Rice production was found to be profitable with net income over cost A1which is the direct cost involved in rice production as N146,049.11; while over cost C3 which is the total costof cultivation of rice was N100,083.62. The stochastic cost frontier model shows three parameters seed,family labour and agro-chemicals had positive and significant effect on the revenue of the rice farmers.Inadequate rainfalls, shortage of labour, clashes with pastoralist were the major constrains associated withrice production in the study area. The study suggest that government policies should be geared towardsdeveloping and establishing new fertilizer and agro-chemicals industries to ease the cost of farm inputs, aswell as intensify farmer grazer conflict resolution programmes.
