Technical efficiency of freshwater pond polyculture production in selected asian countries : estimation and implication
Type: Journal Article
The research documented in this article estimates the levels and determinants of farm-level technical efficiencies (TE) in freshwater pond polyculture systems in China, India, Thailand, and Vietnam. The levels of ...
Current status of production and consumption of tilapia in selected Asian countries
Type: Journal Article
An assessment of the status of production and consumption of tilapia in five Asian countries was made to provide a baseline for the analysis of the potential benefits of the introduction of a new, improved strain of Nile ...
Status and economics of freshwater aquaculture in selected countries of Asia
Type: Journal Article
The paper discusses the status of freshwater aquaculture, and the productivity and cost effectiveness of alternative technologies in the major fish producing countries in Asia, such as Bangladesh, China, India, Indonesia, ...
Demand for Fish by Species in India: Three-Stage Budgeting Framework
Type: Journal Article
The demand studies for the fish sector are limited by their high degree of aggregation, and the lack of empirical basis for estimating the underlying elasticity of demand. In this study, the three-stage budgeting framework ...
Technical efficiency of tilapia growout pond operations in the Philippines
Type: Journal Article
The determination of efficient production levels for tilapia growout operations, given the existing technology, is necessary to examine alternative options to increase productivity. If farmers are not making efficient use ...
Aquaculture Productivity convergence in India: A Spatial Econometric Perspective
Type: Journal Article
This paper provides an illustration of evaluating productivity convergence using spatial econometric modelling framework for the aquaculture sector in India. Productivity has been measured using Total Factor Productivity ...
Impact of development and dissemination of Integrated Aquaculture-Agriculture (IAA) Technologies in Malawi
Type: Journal Article
Malawi is a small but densely populated country in Southern Africa. Fish is an important part of the nutrition of Malawians, providing essential protein and micronutrients. However, per capita fish consumption has halved ...
Socioeconomics and production efficiency of tilapia hatchery operations in the Philippines
Type: Journal Article
With the recent availability of genetically improved Nile tilapia strain in the Philippines, it is important to look at the existing profile of tilapia hatchery operations in the country to help examine the potential ...
Spatial Linear Approximate to Almost Ideal Demand System
Type: Journal Article
The paper introduces two spatial systems of demand equation models that are variants of the Linear Approximate to Almost Ideal Demand Systems (LA/AIDS) with habit formation. Specifically, the first model incorporates spatial ...
Fish consumption and food security : a disaggregated analysis by types of fish and classes of consumers in selected asian countries
Type: Journal Article
This paper discusses fish consumption and preference patterns for fish species by income groups, and by urban/rural divide in Bangladesh, China, India, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam. The analysis is ...
