This paper measures the impact of a micronutrient training among women farmers with young children on the demand for zinc-enhanced varieties. We conducted a randomized control trial by providing micronutrient training in randomly selected villages in May-June 2017. These farmers were also given...

Many rice farmers burn stubble and straw after harvest, which worsens air pollution. This paper examines the impact of training on the adoption of advanced rice harvesting technologies that reduce the need for crop burning. It uses data from a cluster randomized controlled trial in Pakistan. The...

This study assesses the impact of increased fertilizer prices under different scenarios on rice production, consumption, trade and prices. Using a global rice model based on a partial equilibrium framework, the simulation results show that a 30% to 100% increase in fertilizer prices would reduce...

In recent years, prices fertilizer, cereals and rice prices have increased significantly due to the Russia-Ukraine war and the export restrictions imposed by India. Thus resulting in higher rice prices in the Philippines. This paper examines the dynamic relationship between rice price inflation...

This paper aims to examine the effect of nutrition training on the adoption of high-zinc rice among female farmers with young children in Bangladesh. The authors first conducted a randomized control trial by providing female farmers with micronutrient training in randomly selected villages in...

Kyrgyzstan economy have undergone transition from a different economic system in the 1990s until now. For stimulating a diversified long-run growth in Kyrgyzstan, the region needs to overcome spatial fragmentation by integrating the regions for economic development translating into national...

We study the determinants of hemoglobin concentration in women throughout their life cycle and ask whether anemia during adolescence persists into adulthood. Using a panel of individuals from the Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS), we find that although about 30% of our sample was anemic...

Asia is home to 60% of the world's population, 52% of global agricultural production, and 43% of agriculture-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. While a large portion of the Asian population depends on agriculture for their livelihood and food security, the agriculture sector is one of the...
