Situation on Livelihood Capital of Hired Khmer Households for Rice Production under Agricultural Mechanization in Thoi Lai District, can Tho City

Global Journal of Science Frontier Research April 28, 2017

Agricultural mechanization is always an indispensable process in the modern agriculture. At the same time, the hired labor groups were marginalized. The case of the hired Khmer households in agriculture in Thoi Lai of Can Tho is a typical example for this study. Data of study was collected through interviews of households by Key informants, and group discussion. the interviews of Key Informants (KI), the interviews of the households and the group discussions. This study was analyzed on the livelihood and its outcomes of 101 hired Khmer households for rice production by the quality and quantity methods. The study results showed that (1) The livelihood of the hired Khmer households has not been improved such as low education, plenty of children, more dependent labors, limited physical capital/property; (2) The participation of the household members in the local associations was limited; (3) Many households had less farmland for agricultural production; (4) The income of the households was still low and there was problem to access to the credit. Those households had the adaptable strategies through the livelihood change and livelihood diversification. However, the financial status of the hired Khmer households has reduced compared to the previous period. The income sources of the hired Khmer households were less diverse and their unstable employment. Some solutions were suggested for improving the livelihood capital and creating the employment for the hired Khmer households in order to adapt with the limited status of the hired employment in agriculture.

Laborer Status and the Effect of Vocational Training on Employment and Income of Rural Laborers in Kien Giang Province, Vietnam

Global Journal of Human Social Sciences March 15, 2015

The results of this study show that Kien Giang has an abundant youth laborer force; 43% of laborers are between the ages 15 to 29, most of whom are involved in the handicraft sector and non-agriculture wage employment, while most laborers aging between 45 and 60 are involved in agricultural work. However, laborers had a difficult time finding jobs after participating in career training because the quality of training was not high and because the duration of training was short. Of those being trained, 51% received training in industrial and construction professions.

Livelihood Diversification Strategies of Khmer and Kinh Farmers in the Mekong Delta since the 1993 Land Law

Global Journal of Human Social Sciences January 15, 2014

With the introduction of the 1993 Land Law and other economic reforms in Vietnam, land has effectively become a commodity, the distribution of which is controlled by market mechanisms. As a result, both ethnic Khmer and Kinh (ethnic Vietnamese) farmers in the Mekong Delta have responded by diversifying their livelihood strategies. This study finds that: (1) The better-off Kinh households had more capital to expand their land for their farming and business. Therefore, more the Kinh households bought land than Khmer households did. Vice versa, more Khmer households sold their land than Kinh households did. In both Khmer and Kinh households, the better-off households bought land and the poor households sold land. Nowadays, the land sizes per household have shrunk and are not large enough for farming; (2) Intensification and diversification were implemented within various groups. Those who own land try to intensify rice farming and to combine farm activities with off-farm and non-farm activities, but those who are landless have to rely on hiring out their labor in both the farm and non-farm activities; and (3) Externally driven forces have shifted the sources of local labor and hired labor for agricultural production in the local area. Thus, hired laborers required from outside the local areas are acquired through labor market networking between farmers and the poor hired laborers in the region. The poor landless Khmers in Soc Trang province have found alternative ways to cope with the risks they face in terms of survival. Consequently, the hired labor from the poor Khmers in Soc Trang contributed effectively to the rice harvest seasons in Thoi Lai, Can Tho, comprising 20 percent of the laborers for the rice production and contributing 70 percent of the total hired laborers for harvesting rice in the hamlet in 2009.

Outcomes of Vietnamas Agrarian Policies after aoDoi Moia: A Case Study of Attempted Agricultural Intensification and Diversification In a Village in Vietnamas Mekong Delta

Global Journal of Human Social Sciences January 15, 2013

This study reviews Vietnam's agrarian policy since Doi Moi and examines the impacts of these policy shifts in one village of the Mekong Delta. In Vietnam, agrarian policy changes since Doi Moi in 1988 have gradually led to the intensification of rice production and high-value food production, including prawns and fish for export and the domestic market in the Mekong Delta. But, the benefits have been unevenly distributed among farmers. In particular, farmers with small land holdings have faced many difficulties. This study reveals that in the study village, prawn and fish farming has, in general, failed due to the high risks that can occur in raising them either in the field or in a fish pond, under the intensification of rice land utilization.

An Intensive Rice Production System Using Hired Mobile Khmer Ethnicity Laborers from Soc Trang, Vietnam

Global Journal of Human Social Sciences January 15, 2012

In Can Tho City area, like much of the Mekong Delta of Southern Vietnam, both the Kinh and Khmer ethnicity farmers and agricultural wage laborers have had to cope with many changes due to emerging national agricultural policies, the move to a market economy, increased labor market competition and new land market policies. Many landholding farmers lack sufficient labor for intensive rice production and so must rely on seasonal agricultural wage laborers for their harvests. Seasonal agricultural wage employment provides important livelihood opportunity for landless and land-poor Khmer ethnicity workers from other parts of the Mekong Delta, but this work is precarious. The long-term survival of this intensive labor system is uncertain in the context of current moves towards agricultural mechanization.
