Abstract

This study was conducted to suggest policy implications of providing public function of organic farming. Define the difficulties of rice farmers to provide public utility of organic farming. We estimated the amount of the farmers would like to receive for the practice of organic agriculture using choice experiment methods. By evaluating individual economic values through WTA estimates, its meaningful to grasp farmers preference for organic farming practice and conversion. These results could be used as useful data for future organic agriculture policy. For the expansion of organic farming, it is required to evaluate correct and accurate economic value and reflect this in policy.
