ABSTRACTGlobal fish consumption has increased substantially over the past six decades, with aquaculture surpassing wild catches in 2022. This growth has raised concerns about environmental sustainability and food safety, prompting the use of eco‐labels to inform consumers about sustainable practices. This study employed a discrete‐continuous choice experiment method to investigate consumer demand for sustainably produced shrimp in Vietnam, focusing on the influence of eco‐labels on purchase decisions.

Abstract

In this study, we aim to estimate the causal effects of LLL on input usage and yield and use the results on treatment effect as inputs for the incremental cost benefit analysis in paddy production in the Mekong Delta region, Vietnam. The findings affirm the economic feasibility of the LLL technique, as indicated by both private and social analyses.

EfD Authors:
Loan, Le Thanh

PurposeThe study investigates determinants of willingness to pay (WTP) for laser land leveling (LLL) technology, its demand heterogeneity across individual farmers and plot characteristics and the technology's empirical impact on paddy productivity.Design/methodology/approachThe study applies the Becker-DeGroote, Marschak style to elicit the WTP for LLL technology and the Cragg model to examine the determinants of the WTP to capture both the demand decision and affordability.
