Summary: This study estimated the health impact value of the VietGAP program on the health of farmers in Thua Thien Hue province. By employing the propensity score matching (PSM) method, findings show that the VietGAP program has a significant impact on farmers’ health. In particular, the program reduces farmers’ health problems due to pesticide exposure by 15.6%, 22.9%, 25.5%, and 23.6%, respectively, based on four types of matching. Most health problems due to pesticide exposure are moderate in severity and have short-term effects. Conventional farmers experience more health problems with more significant symptoms than VietGAP farmers do. By applying the health cost derived from direct and indirect costs, the health impact value from the VietGAP program is VND 521,870. Many farmers are aware of the harmful effects of pesticide use; intensive use of pesticides and using inadequate protective equipment increase the health risks faced by farmers. This study provided evidence of the positive impacts of the VietGAP program on the health status of farmers in Thua Thien Hue province. It is therefore hoped that the production, consumption, and management solutions provided by the VietGAP program can encourage farmers to use environment-friendly agricultural practices.

Summary: This research evaluated small-scale farmers’ knowledge, perceptions of pesticide risks, and practices with regard to pesticide use to identify the determinants of their behavior. A choice experiment approach was also applied to investigate farmers’ valuations of health risk changes associated with pesticide use. A total of 630 farmers from seven towns in Anqiu County, China were interviewed and 420 farmers were randomly assigned to answer choice experiment valuation tasks. Results show that the frequency of pesticide application by local farmers is high and that the improper disposal of pesticides after use is common in the study area. The probability of pesticide overuse significantly decreased with farmers’ risk perceptions, willingness to reduce pesticide use, better social relationships, and strict government monitoring. Results of the choice experiment show that cancer consequence due to pesticide use decreases the utility of the farmer. Household income, education, and age have significant and positive impacts on farmers’ WTP. Farmers who are more educated or female are more likely to accept the compensation scheme if health risks increase. The marginal WTA for the same risk change is about two times higher than the marginal WTP.

Summary: Amid growing concerns related to excessive use of irrigation water and overuse of chemical fertilizers in coffee production in Vietnam, this study evaluates both economic and environmental performance of coffee farmers using a panel data set of 829 farms over three crop years: 2012/13, 2013/14, and 2014/15. Specifically, it looked at the difference in environmental efficiency between certified and conventional (uncertified) coffee farms groups. It was found that in the first crop year of the data set, certified farms performed better than conventional (uncertified) farms for the three types of environmental efficiency (i.e., irrigation water efficiency, nutrient efficiency, and eco-efficiency). These results were similar in the second crop year in terms of irrigation efficiency, nutrient efficiency, and efficiency variance models (i.e., eco-efficiency models). However, in the most recent crop year (2014/15), the difference between certified and uncertified farms appears to be unclear. An interesting finding is that modern irrigation systems and the availability of windbreak trees could improve environmental efficiency.

Results indicate that both users and villagers in surrounding areas have been experiencing problems because of pesticide use. It also highlights a number of ways in which policymakers can help farmers to control the negative impacts of pesticide use by modifying the existing laws and regulations governing pesticide use and economic efficiency in Myanmar.

Summary: The study assessed the economic losses suffered by farming communities due to the emission of the dye waste water from industrial zone. The study found that the farmlands with the higher level of waste water pollution, less fertile soil and nearer to the waste water channel experience the greater yield decrease. It signs clearly that there is an urgent need for industrial zone administration and the responsible government to educate the weaving owners and to find cost-efficient ways of removing waste water from the farmlands.
