Summary:

Storage is an important component of the postharvest handling operations of agricultural products. Identification of the postharvest activities in rice farmers has been the focus of continuing study by agricultural economists. However, the individual characteristics and other socioeconomic factors that affect the farmers’ decisions on rice storage are not well understood, especially in Myanmar. This study examines the factors affecting the decision making of farmers on rice storage in Pyar Pon District, Myanmar. 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.
