Farmers' satisfaction with aquaculture -- A logistic model in Vietnam

Author

  • Duc, Nguyen Minh

Abstract

Aquaculture has been an important economic sector in Vietnam due to its rapid growth and considerable contribution to national fisheries production. With data collected from a field survey interviewing 120 fish farmers in southern Vietnam, this study uses a cumulative logistic model to extend the satisfaction approach to an analysis of the farmers' satisfaction with their fish farming. Regression results show that relative income, not absolute income from aquaculture, has enhanced job satisfaction of the farmers with their fish production. Farmer satisfaction with fish culture is also estimated to increase with their age, their involvement in extension services, larger relative pond surface, and a higher expectation of earnings from aquaculture.
