Abstract

Using data from the Vietnam Access Resources Household Survey in 2018, we employ a propensity score matching method to evaluate the impact of soil conservation measures’ adoption on the use of fertilizers and pesticides and the economic efficiency of rice cultivating households in Vietnam. The empirical results show that households that adopt soil conservation measures spend between 62.30 and 86.40 USD less per hectare on chemical fertilizers and between 7.00 and 11.20 USD less per hectare on pesticides than households that did not. Additionally, soil conservation adoption increases the farming efficiency of households cultivating rice.
