一般注記This paper looks at how rice cultivating households in Laos have been affected by policies to transform and upgrade the subsistent oriented sector into a dynamic and competitive one through intensification and commercialization, and how livelihood strategies of these households in turn have affected such modernization goals set by the government.
While overall rice output has grown significantly over the past few decades, market institutions pertinent to the rice sector remain critically weak, constraining modernization in the rice sector. Contract farming has been promoted within this context, which have led to some positive results for participating households. There has been, however, no significant evidence of a full-fledged sectoral transformation. This could be due to pervasive coordination failures amidst imperfect market institutions, providing disincentives to farmers to commit themselves to livelihood strategies based on such modernized rice cultivation practices.
