Abstract Future rice systems must produce more grain while minimizing the negative environmental impacts. A key question is how to orient agricultural research & development (R&D) programs at national global scales maximize return on investment. Here we assess yield gap and resource-use efficiency (including water, pesticides, nitrogen, labor, energy, associated warming potential) across 32 cropping covering half of harvested area. We show that achieving high yields efficiencies are...
Hedonic pricing analysis is conducted to determine the implicit values of various attributes in market value a good. In this study, hedonic was applied measure contribution grain quality search and experience price rice two rural towns Philippines. Rice samples from respondents underwent quantitative routine assessments quality. particular, gelatinization temperature chalkiness, parameters that are normally assessed through visual scores, were evaluated by purely means (differential scanning...
Kuethe T. H. and Pede V. O. Regional housing price cycles: a spatio-temporal analysis using US state-level data, Studies. A study is presented of the effects macroeconomic shocks on prices in Western United States quarterly data from 1988:1 to 2007:4. The contributes existing literature by explicitly incorporating locational spillovers through spatial econometric adaptation vector autoregression (SpVAR). results suggest these may Granger cause movements large number cases. SpVAR provides...
Recent studies on yield gap analysis for rice in Southeast Asia revealed different levels of intensification across the main 'rice bowls' region. Identifying key crop management and biophysical drivers gaps provides opportunities comparative analyses, which are crucial to better understand scope narrow increase resource-use efficiencies The objective this study was decompose into their efficiency, resource, technology components map sustainably production four lowland irrigated areas through...
Rice production has increased significantly with the efforts of international research centers and national governments in past five decades. Nonetheless, productivity improvement still needs to accelerate coming years feed growing population that depends on rice for calories nutrients. This challenge is compounded by increasing scarcity natural resources such as water farmland. article reviews 17 ex-post impact assessment studies published from 2016 2021 varieties, agronomic practices,...
In this paper, we demonstrate a method for measuring the effect of spatial interactions on use hybrid rice using unique, nationally representative data set from Bangladesh. order to circumvent ‘reflection problem’, consider an identification and estimation strategy employing generalised two‐stage least squares procedure with near‐ideal instruments effectively identify causal influences. Results indicate that neighbour effects are significant determinant use. Further, two specifications...
Climate change impacts on agriculture have become evident, and threaten the achievement of global food security. On other hand, agricultural sector itself is a cause climate change, if actions are not taken, might impede goals. Science-policy engagement efforts crucial to ensure that scientific findings from research for development inform governments, private sector, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) international partners, accelerating progress toward However, knowledge gaps what works...
Alternate wetting and drying (AWD) is a low-cost innovation that enables farmers to adapt increasingly water scarcity conditions (such as drought), increase overall farm production efficiency, mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. It seen pathway for transforming agri-food systems into more resilient, productive, biologically diverse, equitable forms, ensuring our commitments the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This paper uses scaling up uncertainty frameworks review success...
This study examines the impact of India's export restrictions on domestic retail rice prices using a dynamic panel GARCH model. The findings suggest that are not sufficient condition to lower prices. Export associated with price volatility in East Zone. Moreover, international transmission sample Asian and African economies shows all countries vulnerable, but degree kinds vulnerability differ. Rice exporters appear be most susceptible as increase these countries. importers also vulnerable...
Abstract With the increasing frequency of extreme climatic events, new challenge is to develop rice varieties that are tolerant drought, water submergence, and salinity. There now high‐yielding green super (GSR) cultivars developed at International Rice Research Institute with increased tolerance multiple abiotic stresses. But a clear understanding economic benefits these under farmers’ production environments not yet fully understood. In this article, we assess yield income effects GSR...
Abstract We investigated the role of spatial dependency in technical efficiency estimates rice farmers using panel data from Central Visayan island Bohol Philippines. Household‐level were collected irrigated and rainfed agro‐ecosystems. In each ecosystem, geographical information on residential farm‐plot neighborhood structures was recorded to compare household‐level among four types neighborhoods. A Bayesian stochastic frontier approach that integrates used address effects farmers’...
Purpose Because of the increasing differential between farm and retail prices, study proposes to investigate extent market power in rice value chain Bangladesh using advanced econometric techniques. Design/methodology/approach Using a Stochastic Frontier Estimation approach on cross-sectional data, examines price spread along determine whether millers wholesalers exercise power. Findings Empirical results reveal that, average, charge 33 29% above marginal cost, respectively. This confirms...
Abstract This paper aims to examine the effect of nutrition training on adoption high-zinc rice among female farmers with young children in Bangladesh. The authors first conducted a randomized control trial by providing micronutrient randomly selected villages May-June 2017, followed phone-based survey seeds farmer trainees and counterparts villages. We three-visit panel 2018–2020 measure adoption. found that Aman or rainy season during July-August declined from 59% 2018 8% 2020 treated 13%...
This paper measures the impact of a micronutrient training among women farmers with young children on demand for zinc-enhanced varieties. We conducted randomized control trial by providing in randomly selected villages May–June 2017. These were also given information biofortification rice zinc. One week after training, we phone-based bidding high-zinc seeds trainees and their counterparts villages. More than 70% treated female participated seed, but only 23% group bidding. Female who...
ABSTRACT This study examines the monthly regional dynamic relationship between rice price inflation and its key drivers in Philippines using a panel vector auto‐regression model over period January 1994–March 2023. We find evidence that effect of world shock is generally larger more persistent than effects other factors. also movements are explained by domestic fuel shocks and, to lesser extent, urea shocks. The impulse response functions driven those three vary sample, especially before...
Vietnam accounts for 6% of global rice production and is exceptionally vulnerable to the impacts climate change. This study utilises a mixed model ordinal logistic regression on farm household data collected in Mekong Red River deltas with goal quantifying their 'planned', anticipation gradual change, 'response', deal sudden onset adaptations. The highlights increased planned adaptation response both direct indirect stress. Farm households higher proportions income from agricultural sources...
This study examines the relationship between economic growth and diversity for US counties over period 1990-2007. The existing literature provides conflicting conclusions on growth, based theoretical arguments as well empirical analysis. A conditional model is estimated through spatial econometric techniques which account role of location dependence in regional process. results suggest has a positive impact growth.
Pre-harvest sprouting (PHS), induced by unexpected weather events, such as typhoons, at the late seed maturity stage, is becoming a serious threat to rice production, especially in state of California, USA, Japan, and Republic Korea, where japonica varieties (mostly susceptible PHS) are mainly cultivated. A projected economic loss severe PHS these three countries could range between 8-10 billion USD per year during next 10 years. Here, we present promising germplasm with strong resistance...
