“…Nearly the same pattern was found in the study of rice in Jhapa, reported the total cost of NRs.50, 901/ha. (Subedi et al, 2020), However, the production cost was found to be NRs 75,205/ha in rice farm in Morang (Pandit et al, 2020) and NRs.77,100/ha in Kapilvastu (Sapkota & Sapkota, 2019) which was higher than this survey findings. In addition, the variable cost occupied 79% of the total cost, whereas the fixed cost was 21% (Figure 1).…”

“…The efficiency implies that inputs are allocated in the farm according to the market price (Shrestha et al, 2021). The inputs such as fertilizer, labor, and irrigation were the important factors, which affect the level of income (Subedi et al, 2020). The cost of key resources like labor, seed, and agrochemical impact on the efficiency of production to a large extent (Shrestha et al, 2021).In addition to it, farm mechanization has a positive influence to enhance the farm performance of rice growers (Vortia et al, 2019).…”

Rice crop plays a key role to maintain the food security in Nepal. However, inadequate knowledge on the economics of production hampers the level of production. Thus, this study seeks to analyze the profitability, resource use efficiency, and constraints faced in rice seed production in Kailali, Nepal. 158 households were selected using a simple random sampling technique. The primary data were collected from September to November 2021. The descriptive statistics, Benefit-Cost ratio, Cobb-Douglas production function, and scaling techniques were applied for data analysis using SPSS. Further, gross return NRs.115, 772/ha and benefit-cost ratio1.70 indicated that rice seed production was profitable with the productivity of 3.81 mt/ha. Estimation of resource use efficiency showed that the investment in seed and fertilizer needs to be increased by 53% and 63% respectively. The cost of tillage operations, labour, and agrochemicals should be decreased. The scaling technique resulted that pest in storage, inadequate capital and insufficient training were the major constraints. It is concluded that rice seed production is profitable with better yield, but the necessity was observed for the optimal allocation of inputs. The training, better storage facilities and credit access would be helpful to increase the income of farmers.

“…This implies that for every Naira (N1.0) invested in rice production, a profit of N1.7 was realized. Subedi, Yuga, Meena, Bimala, Jiban, & Bidya, (2020) and Ogechi, (2020) in their study on rice production in Nepal and in Nigeria respectively, had similar results and indicated the financial viability of rice production in their respective study areas.…”

Rice is an important crop to the Nigerian economy. However, the level of inputs used in its production are not at the optimum level. This study examined the resource use efficiency of rice producers in Kura LGA of Kano State, Nigeria. Data used for the study was obtained by scheduled interview using structured questionnaires administered to 115 respondents selected using a simple random sampling procedure. Descriptive statistics, budgetary techniques and multiple regression were used to analyze the data. Results obtained revealed that the mean age of the farmers was 31 years, most of the farmers were male, educated and with farming experience of 8 years. Results for profitability of rice production showed that the net farm income for rice production was N176922.2 with a return to Naira investment value of 2.7. This implies that 1N invested on rice production would give a return of N1.7. Results for regression analysis showed that farm size, agrochemicals, and labour had a significant effect on output. Analysis of return to scale was 4.5. This indicates an increasing return to scale with increased use of input resources. Results for resource-use efficiency revealed that farm size, agrochemicals, seed quantity, and labour were under-utilized. Further analysis showed that inadequate capital and poor extension service delivery affected rice production. The study recommended improvement on extension service delivery. The government, Non-governmental organizations and farmer organizations were advised to educate the farmers on appropriate use of farm inputs and ensure the availability of these inputs to farmers at subsidized prices. Farmers could be provided with soft agricultural loans to finance purchase of equipment and production inputs.

“…These findings emphasize the crucial importance of fertilizers. On the other hand, several other research did not believe that fertilizers did not affect crop yields, but in Malaysia, rice production has the same result as in developing countries (Subedi et al 2020).…”

This study aimed to determine the technical and resource-use efficiency of East Java. The secondary data were used from the Paddy Cultivation Household Survey ST2013 handled by BPS-Statistics Indonesia. The data was cross-sectional and were derived from ST2013 in 2014. The stochastic frontier analysis analyzed the factors that drive rice output and quantified rice production's technical efficiency. In contrast, the marginal value productmarginal factor cost (MVP-MFC) approach was used to quantify resource-use efficiency in rice production. The SFA indicated that these factors positively affect rice output except for seed, fertilizer, labor, and land utilization. However, other factors were considered apart from the land size, such as exaggerated land and labor advantage in production and bad seed and fertilizer utilization. Technical efficiency varies considerably among rice farmers, ranging from 1 percent to 100 percent, with an average of 89 percent. Their technical inefficiency was influenced by their group membership, irrigation, credit, education level, and farmer age -external farm insect pests. The government and the private sector are involved in the programs through farmer groups.
