Farmer willingness to pay for seed-related information: rice varieties in Nigeria and Benin Author info | Abstract | Publisher info | Download info | Related research | Statistics HORNA, J. DANIELA
SMALE, MELINDA
OPPEN, MATTHIAS VON
Additional information is available for the following
registered author(s):
This study examines farmers preferences for rice seed. Farmers prefer one variety based on the utility they obtain from its attributes, which depends on their own social and economic characteristics. Contingent methods are used to elicit preferences and rice seed price. The marginal values of attributes are estimated with an ordered probit regression. The WTP for seed-related information is derived from the utility model. The results have implications for the best way to finance extension services in the areas of intervention, particularly for new rice varieties.
