Qualitative choice model (binomial logit) was used to determine whether farmers’ choices of storing and non-storing options were significantly affected by their individual characteristics and other socio-economic factors. The factors found to be significantly affecting the farmer’s decision on rice storage were price of rice after storage, storage costs, education, and availability of equipment. Other factors like rice production, annual gross income, experiences in rice trading and gender were insignificant.   Read More
