This study was based on primary and secondary sources of data. The primary data for the study was obtained by using purposive random sampling method from 120 sampled farmers, in Maubin and Daik U Townships during September to October, 2015. Domestic Resource Cost (DRC) analysis and PAM were used to measure the comparative advantage on rice in monsoon and summer and black gram production.\r\nThe results showed that DRC ratios were 0.64 and 0.61 for monsoon rice, 0.45 and 0.44 for summer rice and 0.31 and 0.34 for black gram in Maubin and Daik U Townships. All DRC ratios showed that there was comparative advantage in all selected crops under the current production system, export price and exchange rate in both townships. Output policy divergences were positive values in monsoon rice production and which meant monsoon rice farmers received higher price in domestic market than international market because large shares of monsoon rice were produced for domestic consumption. But output policy divergences were negative in summer rice and black gram productions. This indicated that summer rice and black gram producers received a price lower than what could have earned at international market. Summer rice is clearly commercial one in these areas. Most farmers sold rice in form of wet paddy and largely to trader who came to villages in the study areas. Some are related to poor quality. In input policy, all selected crops showed also positive divergences that indicated farmers in the study areas had to pay higher prices of tradable inputs. Positive divergences in domestic factor costs were caused by labor market imperfection. The results of Effective Protection Coefficients (EPC), the current output and input polices were disincentive for farmer for all selected production because they have been directly or indirectly taxed because of output and input policies. Moreover, they grew high use of tradable inputs and domestic factors, paid high price of inputs and they got low yield low price of outputs. Among these productions, black gram had the most comparative advantage for export market and then followed by summer rice and monsoon rice production. According to the sensitivity analyses, all selected crop productions can obtain more comparative advantages if increasing FOB prices with higher exchange rates at different yield levels. Labor productivity of summer rice production was found to be the most labor use efficient and labor productivity of black gram production was the most labor use efficient in Daik U Township. In both townships, most indicators showed that labor use efficiency of Daik UTownship was greater than that of Maubin Township. All these crops had potential to high farm income and foreign exchange earnings for the country."}]}, "item_1583103108160": {"attribute_name": "Keywords", "attribute_value_mlt": [{"interim": "Comparative advantages"}]}, "item_1583103120197": {"attribute_name": "Files", "attribute_type": "file", "attribute_value_mlt": [{"accessrole": "open_access", "date": [{"dateType": "Available", "dateValue": "2020-05-05"}], "displaytype": "preview", "download_preview_message": "", "file_order": 0, "filename": "comparative advantage of rice production in maubin and daik U.pdf", "filesize": [{"value": "1780 Kb"}], "format": "application/pdf", "future_date_message": "", "is_thumbnail": false, "licensetype": "license_free", "mimetype": "application/pdf", "size": 1780000.0, "url": {"url": "https://meral.edu.mm/record/215/files/comparative advantage of rice production in maubin and daik U.pdf"}, "version_id": "cef4c36c-9321-438c-a15a-2c8db8c8e51c"}]}, "item_1583103131163": {"attribute_name": "Journal articles", "attribute_value_mlt": [{"subitem_journal_title": "Yezin Agricultural University"}]}, "item_1583103147082": {"attribute_name": "Conference papaers", "attribute_value_mlt": [{}]}, "item_1583103211336": {"attribute_name": "Books/reports/chapters", "attribute_value_mlt": [{}]}, "item_1583103233624": {"attribute_name": "Thesis/dissertations", "attribute_value_mlt": [{"subitem_supervisor(s)": []}]}, "item_1583105942107": {"attribute_name": "Authors", "attribute_value_mlt": [{"subitem_authors": [{"subitem_authors_fullname": "Kay Thi Khin"}]}]}, "item_1583108359239": {"attribute_name": "Upload type", "attribute_value_mlt": [{"interim": "Publication"}]}, "item_1583108428133": {"attribute_name": "Publication type", "attribute_value_mlt": [{"interim": "Thesis"}]}, "item_1583159729339": {"attribute_name": "Publication date", "attribute_value": "2016-11"}, "item_1583159847033": {"attribute_name": "Identifier", "attribute_value": "https://yauor-yau.archive.knowledgearc.net/handle/123456789/169"}, "item_title": "COMPARATIVE ADVANTAGES OF RICE AND BLACK GRAM PRODUCTIONS IN MAUBIN AND DAIK U TOWNSHIPS IN LOWER MYANMAR", "item_type_id": "21", "owner": "1", "path": ["1582969242608"], "permalink_uri": "http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12678/0000000215", "pubdate": {"attribute_name": "Deposited date", "attribute_value": "2020-03-05"}, "publish_date": "2020-03-05", "publish_status": "0", "recid": "215", "relation": {}, "relation_version_is_last": true, "title": ["COMPARATIVE ADVANTAGES OF RICE AND BLACK GRAM PRODUCTIONS IN MAUBIN AND DAIK U TOWNSHIPS IN LOWER MYANMAR"], "weko_shared_id": -1}
