Hence, the study was designed to analyze the personal, socio-economic, psychological and communication factors related to farmer\u2019s participation in EFY value addition, to assess the knowledge of EFY value addition for different actors in Hakha Township, to study the relationship between knowledge with personal, socio-economic, psychological characteristics and communication behavior of EFY farmers regarding to value addition and to measure the profitability of producing EFY. The qualitative and quantitative data were collected from randomly selected 134 respondents (producers and processors) in seven villages of Hakha Township, Chin state. Descriptive analysis such as mean and standard deviation was used to categorize the level of their socio-economic, psychological and communication characteristics. Thirty-two statements were developed for knowledge test to measure the knowledge level of EFY farmers for EFY value addition. Chi square test, correlation analysis and benefit cost analysis were used for respective objectives. Based on the findings, the overall knowledge level of the EFY farmers was found below medium level. It is clear that majority of the respondents belonged to low education level but possessed high level of innovativeness, risk orientation and medium level of economic orientation. Out of sixteen independent variables studied, size of family, risk orientation and level of education showed a positive and significant association with knowledge level of EFY farmers. For profitability analysis BCR for fresh EFY production were 2.5, 1.7 and 1.5 for the farmers in high, medium and low knowledge group respectively. ROI for fresh EFY production were observed as 19, 16, and 10 for high, medium and low knowledge group respectively. If they added value to fresh EFY, the ROIs were raised significantly by 9, 10, 5 for each group. According to this result, value addition of EFY should be promoted at large scale for income enhancement and livelihood improvement of the rural households."}]}, "item_1583103108160": {"attribute_name": "Keywords", "attribute_value_mlt": [{"interim": "Knowledge level"}, {"interim": " attitude level"}, {"interim": " risk orientation level"}, {"interim": " elephant foot yam"}, {"interim": " value addition"}, {"interim": " BCR"}, {"interim": " ROI"}]}, "item_1583103120197": {"attribute_name": "Files", "attribute_type": "file", "attribute_value_mlt": [{"accessrole": "open_access", "date": [{"dateType": "Available", "dateValue": "2020-05-05"}], "displaytype": "preview", "filename": "TIN_MAUNG_LWIN.pdf", "filesize": [{"value": "1562 Kb"}], "format": "application/pdf", "licensetype": "license_free", "mimetype": "application/pdf"}]}, "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": "LWIN, TIN MAUNG"}]}]}, "item_1583108359239": {"attribute_name": "Upload Type", "attribute_name_i18n": "Upload Type", "attribute_value": "Publication"}, "item_1583108428133": {"attribute_name": "Publication type", "attribute_name_i18n": "Publication type", "attribute_value": "Thesis"}, "item_1583159729339": {"attribute_name": "Publication date", "attribute_name_i18n": "Publication date", "attribute_value": "2019-12"}, "item_title": "KNOWLEDGE ASSESSMENT FOR DEVELOPMENT OF ELEPHANT FOOT YAM VALUE ADDED ENTERRISE IN HAKHA TOWNSHIP", "item_type_id": "21", "owner": "1", "path": ["1582963567848/1582969422502"], "permalink_uri": "http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12678/0000000245", "publish_date": "2020-03-05", "publish_status": "0", "recid": "245", "relation": {}, "relation_version_is_last": true, "title": ["KNOWLEDGE ASSESSMENT FOR DEVELOPMENT OF ELEPHANT FOOT YAM VALUE ADDED ENTERRISE IN HAKHA TOWNSHIP"], "weko_creator_id": "1", "weko_shared_id": -1}
