Effectiveness of agricultural production land in Trieu Phong district, Quang Tri province

Abstract

This study was conducted in Trieu Phong District, Quang Tri Province, to evaluate the effectiveness of agricultural production land to propose solutions for sustainable agricultural land use. We selected three communes representing three ecological sub-regions of the district and interviewed 106 households. The questions were about the current status of agricultural production and the effectiveness of the land use. Trieu Ai commune represents the midland; Trieu Dai commune represents the delta, and Trieu An commune represents the coastal area. The results show that the average production income is VND 39.722 mil/ha, and the added value is VND 25.649 mil/ha. The average income per capita is VND 0.177 million, and the average added value per capita is VND 0.177 million. The land-use type specializing in rice in the delta has the highest income and added value at VND 81.863 mil/ha and VND 53.635 mil/ha. The average added value per capita in the delta is VND 0.341 million; this figure is 1.3 and 2.9 times higher than that in the midland and the coastal area.
