  • Farmers' Awareness of the Low Yield of Conventional
    agriculture Article Farmers’ Awareness of the Low Yield of Conventional Rice Production in Ayeyarwady Region, Myanmar: A Case Study of Myaungmya District Soe Paing Oo 1,2 1 Graduate School of International Development (GSID), Nagoya University, Nagoya 464-8601, Japan; [email protected] or [email protected]; Tel.: +81-90-42452575 2 Department of Agronomy, Yezin Agricultural University (YAU), Nay Pyi Taw 15013, Myanmar Received: 9 December 2019; Accepted: 16 January 2020; Published: 20 January 2020 Abstract: The Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation introduced the Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs) of rice in 2008. The adoption rate of GAPs is still low. As the first step of the adoption process, this study investigates farmers’ awareness of the low yield of conventional rice production. Based on the data of 315 farmers collected from a field survey conducted from July to August 2018 in Myaungmya District, Myanmar, and by applying the cluster analysis and binary logit model, the study found that farmers’ awareness was low for the aspects of farmer management and Ministry management. The finding of most interest is that farmers with more experience, higher income level, larger farmland size, and receiving agricultural information were associated with low awareness. Farmers with more farming experience were satisfied with the return of rice from conventional production. Some farmers received a higher total income from crop production because of a larger farmland size, and they are less aware of the low yield of conventional rice production. Even though farmers received agricultural information, they could not apply the information to rice production.

    UNIVERSITY OF ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE MASTER OF BANKING AND FINANCE CREDIT ACCESSIBILITY AND FARM PERFORMANCE (A CASE STUDY IN MYAN AUNG TOWNSHIP, AYEYARWADY DIVISION) THIDA OO DECEMBER 2018 ABSTRACT The study examined the relationship between agricultural credit and farm performance in Myan Aung Township, Ayeyarwady Division. Both of the primary and secondary data were used to analyze. There are 518 villages and 58 village tracts in Myan Aung Township . The random sample of 92 agricultural farmers was from 923 households of 6 village tracts which represents 10% of village tracts. Correlation and regression models are used to test whether the farm performance is affected by agricultural credit accessibility and also if there is any relationship between the two. For this study, the independent variables taken are agricultural credit accessibility of farmers and the farming characteristics of farmers: number of farmers in household and farming experience. The dependent variable is the farm performance (paddy yield per acre). There is a fairly positive correlation between all three independent variables (credit accessibility, farming experience, number of farmers in household) and farm performance (paddy yield per acre). According to the result of correlation, all three independent variables are significant at 1% level. The effect of farm experience is highest among variables on paddy yield per acres. For regression analysis, the independent variables (farm experience, number of farmers in households and credit accessibility) are positive and statistically significant with farm yield. Three variables have significantly explained 51% of the variance in paddy yield per acre. As a conclusion, agricultural credit should be provided to farmers sufficiently and timely manner.
