| Abstract | The latest agricultural reform has brought about many changes in
Agriculture in the Red River Delta. The aim of this study is to evaluate the
changes in. Rice-based cropping systems, which reflected the changes in
production behavior of individual household operators. The study also aimed to
identify factors affecting crop production systems in the new context of the
market- oriented economy being practiced in the recent years in the country.
Based on farm survey data, some farm models of cropping systems have been
developed for the different Groups of households in study sites .These models
can be used as a guideline for farmers in selecting options in their farms .
The results of the study indicated that farm income in the survey sites
significantly improved mainly due to intensification and crop diversification after
4- year adoption of the reform. The changes in crop production systems have an
obvious impact on livestock production systems. Distance to market centers and
household income levels were found to be the main factors considerably affecting
crop production systems in the area. Pricing system was identified as playing a
leading role in selection of cropping patterns by the households located at
different distances to the market centers. |
