Seed village programmes are becoming popular in developing countries due to their potential supply of affordable seed farmers a timely manner. Under the programme, profitability growing is important as it incentivizes them grow more for distribution other farmers. This paper tried analyze impact programme on paddy crop by using Difference-in-Difference approach. The study was conducted during y...

Household-level data from Malaysia Smallholder paddy farmers are used to test whether higher caloric intake enhances family farm labour productivity. This study contests the notion behind efficiency wages hypothesis. Farmers’ productivity is estimated using Data Envelopment Analysis. To avoid estimation bias reverse causality, we utilize a two-stage least square approach by choosing prices, hou...

Plantations in the East Kolaka region are no longer productive, leading to a decline production and even production. The community has made their plantation land more effective increase output. This initiative led plans change use of into paddy fields region, supported by government through construction Ladongi dam. varying views responses from each farmer. study aims understand farmers' reacti...

Irrigation accounts for 70% of global water use by humans and 33–40% of global food production comes from irrigated croplands. Accurate and timely information related to global irrigation is therefore needed to manage increasingly scarce water resources and to improve food security in the face of yield gaps, climate change and extreme events such as droughts, floods, and heat waves. Unfortunate...

Bangladesh is a predominantly agricultural country containing 86,000 villages. The village population consists of mainly farmers, with the majority of them being resource-poor in the sense of having small land holdings on which they grow various crops, the major crop being paddy. Most farmers maintain one or two cows, buffaloes, or goats in their homesteads. Animals like cows or buffaloes are m...

Conservation of agricultural crops and minimization of grain losses is challenging issue in the present scenario. Effective use of thermal energy for drying of paddy and other cereals for maintaining proper quality is the quality drying process. Natural convection grain dryer is quite suitable for under developed and developing countries like India where rural electrification and advanced dryin...

Paddy rice in monsoon Asia plays an important role in global food security and climate change. Here we documented annual dynamics of paddy rice areas in the northern frontier of Asia, including Northeastern (NE) China, North Korea, South Korea, and Japan, from 2000-2014 through analysis of satellite images. The paddy rice area has increased by 120% (2.5 to 5.5 million ha) in NE China, in compar...
