ABSTRACT

Economic efficiency is a concept showing a concentration of development in depth, reflecting the exploitation of financial resources and the cost of resources in the production process. The study was conducted in Ha Tinh province, Vietnam, to evaluate the economic efficiency of agricultural production in low-lying areas. The research results of the topic are based on data collected from 80 agricultural households of 3 livelihood models (specialising fish, rice–fish, and rice–fish–duck). The results show that the specialising fish model gives the most extensive production value and requires the highest initial investment costs, followed by the rice–fish–duck model and the rice–fish model. However, considering the production efficiency indicators, the rice–fish–duck model has the highest economic efficiency, then the specialised fish model and the rice–fish model. The study also pointed out some limitations of livelihood models and farmer households, such as land size, technical system, and seed source. Therefore, if these shortcomings are solved, the economic efficiency of farmers will be improved.
