ASSESSMENT OF FINANCIAL EFFICIENCY OF PLANT MODEL ADAPTATION IN SALINITY ZONES IN THANH PHU DISTRICT, BEN TRE PROVINCE

Abstract

 This research was conducted to evaluate the financial efficiency of some crop production models for adaptation in salinity zones in Thanh Phu District, Ben Tre Province. This research is imperative to offer effective sustainable production solutions that are suitable to the current situation of the salinity zone. The total number of samples surveyed at the households were 136 using the convenient sampling method. The multivariate regression model has been applied to determine the factors affecting financial performance. The analysis shows that there is a linear relationship between profitability and the dependent variables of the farmers
who are farming the Shrimp - Rice; Coconut; Mango models in Thanh Phu District with at least one of the factors being an independent variable included in the model; and the independent variables selected in the model are quite high R2 = 0,648; R2 = 0,745; R2 = 0,474 respectively. Variance inflation factor (VIF) was within the limit (VIF <10). Factors such as the number of laborers involved in the farm production, with technical science
training, farming experience and seed origin  knowledge were identified as having a majorimpact on the various farms income.
