Factors influencing the profit and choice of agribusiness for agricultural cooperatives in Thailand
Many agricultural cooperatives in Thailand do not conduct agribusiness and face declining profits. Therefore, this study examined the factors influencing their profit and agribusiness choices. The results reveal that operating capital, the presence of a trading business and average payback positively affect profit. In contrast, the number of cooperative members and the number of staff members have a negative effect on profit. In addition, the num…
Impact of climate change on paddy crop failure under different water regimes in Sri Lanka
This study highlighted the severity of paddy harvest failure under various water regimes by elaborating on spatiotemporal variations, and estimating the influence of climatic variation on such crop failure in Sri Lanka. A panel data set obtained from 18 districts from 1981 to 2019 was analysed. The Unharvest Index (UI) (i.e., an index that was developed to measure the intensity of crop failure) was estimated according to seasonal water regimes fo…
Status and drivers of households’ food security status in climate-sensitive coastal areas of Bangladesh: A comparison between the exposed and interior coasts
Farming in coastal areas has unique challenges as climate change threatens coastal people's livelihoods and food security. Therefore, household food security remains a major concern, especially in Bangladesh's climate-sensitive coastal districts. This study compared the food security status and identified the factors influencing households' food security in the exposed and interior coasts of Bangladesh. A total of 750 households (exposed coast: 3…
Drought perception and field-level adaptation strategies of farming households in drought-prone areas of Afghanistan
Analysing the variation in farmers’ perceptions of climate change impacts on crop production and adaptation measures across the Ganges’ Tidal Floodplain in Bangladesh
Bangladesh is highly vulnerable to climate change (CC) and consequent agricultural productivity repercussions. This study aimed at exploring the difference in farmers' perceptions of CC impacts on crop production and variation in adaptation measures across the Ganges' Tidal Floodplain (GTF) region. To unlock the local level context-specific nature of adaptation, the study area covered two distinct zones of the GTF: interior zone, surrounded by th…
Household food insecurity and dietary diversity of women of reproductive age among smallholder farming households in northwest Bangladesh
Despite Bangladesh's remarkable progress in agricultural production over the past few decades, household food and nutrition insecurity persist, especially in rural areas. The nutrition security and dietary diversity are even more critical for women of reproductive age among smallholders. This study examined household food insecurity and dietary diversity of women of reproductive age in the rural areas of northwest Bangladesh. Using cross-sectiona…
An assessment of the smallholder rice farming households’ vulnerability to climate change and variability in the Mekong delta region of Vietnam
This study assessed the livelihood vulnerability of rice farming households in Can Tho, Dong Thap, and Tien Giang provinces in the Mekong delta region (MDR) of Vietnam using primary data collected from 405 rice farmers, and the Livelihood Vulnerability Index (LVI) and LVI-Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (LVI-IPCC) approaches. The calculated LVI revealed that rice farming households were vulnerable in terms of the social network, livelih…

Farmers' perceptions of milk-collecting centres in Thailand's dairy industry
This study assessed farmers’ perceptions of milk-collecting centres (MCCs) in the central and north-eastern regions of Thailand. MCCs can be divided into two groups, dairy cooperatives and private organisations. There were similar perceptions about the role of MCCs among the farmers regarding the basic needs of dairy farmers, but with a stronger focus of economic issues for private organisation members, while dairy cooperative members views were …
Assessment of land degradation and its impact on crop production in the Dry Zone of Myanmar
Land degradation in terms of soil degradation is a major environmental issue posing threat to sustainable livelihood in the semi-arid region of Central Myanmar. However, the studies on soil degradation status and its impacts in this region are very scanty. The objective of this study was to determine the impact of land degradation on crop production both in terms of area and yield in the Dry Zone of Myanmar. Remote sensing and geographic informat…
