Why Sustainable Rice Production and Rice Value Chain?
Sustainable rice production is cultivating paddy using organic inputs
Which lead to
Improvement of Paddy ecosystem
and people’s qualityof life
ISSC 2016 34/12/2016
Sustainable Rice Production using System of Rice Intensification Method
• 6 principles of SRI have innovative elements, where they focus on efficiency, economical, and sustainable environment
The method has proven to benefit farmers in terms of
1. Well managed resources such as less water requirement2. Using natural and organic fertilisers instead of chemical inputs3. High yield of production due to single seedling approach and
causing less competition to grow compared if using direct seedlings4. Controlling the pests not killing them5. Improving the paddy ecosystem from micro organisms that
improve the soil nutrients as well as the well being of the farmers such as health
ISSC 2016 44/12/2016
Why rice value chain?
• Value chain is a concept popularized by Porter to illustratehow companies could achieve what he called “competitiveadvantage” by adding value within their organization.
• Agriculture value chain concept is the approach of actorsconnected along a chain producing and delivering goods toconsumers through a sequence of activities
• The approach has been found useful because it considers allthose factors impacting on the ability of farmers to accessmarkets profitably and to identify market opportunities forsmall farmers
ISSC 2016 54/12/2016
What motivate us to conduct the study?
• Not many study done related to SRI organic rice
value chain
• Limited knowledge on factors impacting on the
ability of farmers to access markets
ISSC 2016 64/12/2016
What the study expect to discover?
• To what extent SRI Method impact the organic rice value
chain
• The roles and activities of the actors in the value chain at
initial stage
• The roles and activities of the actors in the value chain at
development stage
ISSC 2016 74/12/2016
How do we conduct the study?
• Adopt qualitative approach using case study method
• Acquire name of SRI farmers including their address from SRI Mas
• Select them based on predetermined criteria- 5 SRI paddy farming location
• Acquire their consent (case samples) for interview and observation
• Set up appointment and conduct interview at their premise
• Record/document their responses
• Transcribe the responses and validate
• Conduct thematic analysis

What did we discover?
SRI practices Innovative elements
• Efficiency in using water resources
• Use not much seed but maximum output
• Growth of the young seedling is well taken care for survival
• Important for the paddy root growth and plant health
• Protect the paddy ecosystem
• Promoting environmental sustainability
ISSC 2016 9
• Water requirement – aimed to moisten the soil.
• Seed selection – aimed at choosing fertile seed
• Planting seed singly in the tray and transplant the young seedlings to paddy field
• Controlling weed
• Controlling pest not killing them
• Using organic input

What did we discover during the development stage?
• Seeds – self propagated by the farmers
• Investment on expansion is necessary on
working capital, infrastructure and others
• Extension services from government agencies
are important
• Marketing competencies are significant to
market the organic riceISSC 2016 134/12/2016
What did we discover?
The activities involved also other actors such as the government agencies however, the main actor in the value chain is the FARMER
The reasons are :
a) The volume of the paddy production not so highb)Field size for paddy farming is smallc) Not a mass production
ISSC 2016 144/12/2016
Conclusion
• The impact of SRI method on organic rice value chain is significant
• The roles and activities of the actors whether at initial or development stage are almost similar. Investment on working capital, infrastructure are critical whether at initial or development stages
• For organic rice value chain, the most important actor is the farmer
