Paddy production, Mekong Delta region, Laser land leveling, Fragmentation, Sub-regionAbstract
This study investigates the impacts of paddy field fragmentation in the Mekong Delta on decision-making regarding investment in laser land leveling (LLL) technology, as well as the challenges associated with constructing sub-regions from several farmers’ paddy plots within the delta. Utilizing the descriptive statistics and One-way ANOVA analysis based on a sample of 303 households across An Giang and Kien Giang provinces. Paddy field fragmentation is prevalent across a spectrum, with the Simpson index ranging from 0 to 1. The results of One-way ANOVA analysis show that there is no statistically significant difference in willingness to pay for the LLL technology at various levels of fragmentation. Therefore, promoting LLL technology should consider additional factors such as the availability of service providers, appropriate seasonal timing for implementation, and weather conditions. Establishing a rice farming sub-region requires not only the investment from individual farming households but also extensive efforts from various official agencies to address cadastral issues, organize coordinated farming systems, support associated costs, and foster cooperation among farmers.
