Abstract

Key Findings -Production systems are competitive given current market prices and policy transfers. -Government policy incentives for small-scale rice farmers lead to inefficient use of scarce resources. -Trade policies increase the price of rice to consumers as well as producers. -Rice production in the study area is currently economically profitable without government incentives. -Competitiveness is driven by productivity hence policies that encourage adoption of improved technology would help sustain the competitiveness of rice production
