| dc.description.abstract | Vietnam is one of the original centers of rice cultivation. High quality rice (HQR) varieties have been released for cultivation in Vietnam, but local rice (LR) varieties are still popular. Vietnam has been the world’s second largest rice exporter since the mid- 1990s, but rice farmers are still poor due to low rice prices. In this context, the present study on the economics of production and marketing of HQR was conducted in Cuulong delta, the major rice of bowl of Vietnam. The area under high quality rice (HQR) is expanding (2.28% per annum), but the yield growth is marginal (1.72%). The cultivation of HQR was found more profitable (net return of 8564 thousand vnd/ha) compared to LR (5807 thousand vnd/ha). The output differential between HQR and LR, estimated using Cobb-Douglas production function, in Winter-Spring, Spring-Summer and Summer- Autumn seasons was 16.42, 17.60 and 13.50 per cent, respectively. The price spread analysis showed that the producers received 43.26, 43.26 and 48.70 per cent of the consumer’s price in the three marketing channels, respectively. The unreasonably high margins of the market intermediaries can be addressed by the government through establishment of wholesale markets together with storage, warehousing and large scale procurement in each province along with reducing the high rate of taxes and fees for the traders. The price of HQR is forecasted to be 16,467 vnd per kg in July 2009, which will reduce to 15,869 vnd per kg in August 2009 but will increase to 16,350 vnd per kg in December 2009 when the harvest season is completed. The results of the ARIMA model clearly indicated higher price fluctuations of HQR. However, the price is forecasted to increase over time. Hence, there is a need to revitalize the extension activities about HQR cultivation to make the farmers to take advantage of the situation. | en_US |
