“…The annual income was estimated from both on-farm and other income sources through personal interviews over a 12-month period from the last 1 or 2 years (2014/2015 or 2015/2016) depending on the farmer's memory. As far as farming products were concerned, both value of cash incomes obtained from marketed crops and those consumed by households as part of their subsistence was estimated and summed to obtain the total annual household income (Duc, 2009). This was made through in-depth discussion with the household heads.…”

Rural fish farming is being promoted as a good source of protein and income diversification to fight poverty and inequality. However, its actual contribution to these rural households and local community at large is little known. Through interviews with 89 farmers' and 6 key informants, we examined the contribution of rural fish farming to local farmers' household income and investigate farmers' perceptions, opportunities, and constraints towards fish farming in six districts of Tanzania. Results indicated that fish farming contributed on average 13% to household incomes and that it explained 5% of the variation of the household income while 84% of the variation was due to non-fish sources. The majority (79%) of the farmers wanted to continue with fish farming, 9% planned to quit, and 12% had not decided whether to continue or not. Conclusively, much higher aquaculture contribution towards rural development could be obtained if appropriate measures are taken.

“…The fish production sector in Vietnam has been described by Van Zwieten, Van Densen and Thi (2002). Duc (2009) presented an analysis of the uptake of aquaculture by farmers in south-east Vietnam and its contribution to farm incomes. A similar study was conducted in the MD by Nhan et al (2007).…”

The Mekong Delta in Vietnam has become an important production area for pangasius. The importance of the sector in providing an income to many households means that it is relevant to study its economic production characteristics. In this article we use a stochastic cost frontier model to assess the adaptability of the sector. We are particularly interested in the effect of the changing market environment and the exponential growth of the sector on the evolution of production characteristics. We compare data from 2002 with 2006 data. The results show that pangasius farming became more efficient by 2006, with higher returns to scale. We discuss the possible policy implications of our findings.

“…Fish farming contributes to 15.4-86.6% of household income of farmers according to a study done by Rahman et al (2011). Increased fish culture practices and yield can play an important role in augmenting rural development as it can provide quality food, high and diversified income thereby improving the quality of life of small scale farmers (Duc, 2008). Goswami et al (2010) reported that annual income has positive significant correlation with scientific fish culture practices.…”

Agricultural Technology Management Agency (ATMA) is an autonomous body that has linkage with all the line departments, like Department of Fisheries (DoF), that works towards raising farmer's income and involved in formulation of suitable strategies for empowering the farmers. In this study, ATMA impact factors among fish farmers were reviewed and discussed with the local officers. The impact factors considered were the types of culture, number of species cultured, yield disposition, marketing and expenditure in fish farming. It was observed, from a sample of 225 fish farmers, that Alappuzha, Ernakulam and Kollam districts responded more towards 'type of culture' and less towards 'marketing', whereas Kottayam and Thrissur districts responded more towards marketing. Among all the impact factors, expenditure on aquaculture was found to be significantly associated with income in all the five districts. This was followed by marketing (4 districts), yield disposition (3 districts), fish species cultured (3 districts) and type of culture (2 districts). On the contrary, it was observed that ATMA support was not similarly associated with these factors, especially for yield disposition and marketing in aquaculture. Therefore, suitable strategies are recommended to strengthen the supply chain management through ATMA.
