Outline
 1. Background
 2. Objectives
 3. Data
 4. Results

 5. Conclusions
Background
 Conditions of Xishuangbanna Dai autonomous prefecture
•
•
•

Located in the southern of China, bordering Laos, Myanmar
95% of area is mountain
Diversity of Ethnic Minorities

• Development of rubber economy
•
•
•

1950-60s: Introduction of rubber
1970-80s: Rubber expansion by state-own farms
Since 1990s: Expansion of rubber plantation by Small scale farmers

• Consequences of rubber for smallholders
•
•

Increase in household income and changes in livelihoods
Potential environmental and food security risks

 Current researches status
•
•
•

Most previous studies are qualitative analysis or smaller case studies
Poor representation of smallholder rubber farming in Xishuangbanna
Insufficient quantitative information on rubber farming (e.g. yield, input use)
Objectives
 Survey and analyze the status quo of smallholder rubber farming
•

e.g. Land use, Input, Yield, Productivity, Revenue

 Identify and discuss the critical values for rubber yield and price by
breakeven analysis
 Assess the contribution of rubber to household income
 Explore the potential income riskiness of small rubber farmers using
appropriate income diversification indices
Data

Effect of income diversification on rubber farming riskiness

- Index of income diversification :
Shannon Equitability Index(SEI)
- Index of farming riskiness:
For the plots which actual yield below
breakeven points:
Riskiness=|yield minus Breakeven yield|
Conclusions
 Rubber has taken over the rural economy in Xishunangbanna and other parts of
Southern China (81% of the total land is used for rubber cultivation) and poverty
has been reduced in the area.
 Land usage, Input, productivity and revenue of smallholders rubber farming differ
among ethnic groups, locations and the characteristics of household head.
 Over 40 % of household income is now from rubber farming
 Over 20% of rubber plots (in harvest phase) are below the breakeven point
indicating riskiness of rubber farming which is affected by ethnic groups, harvest
phase and altitude.
 Diversity in income sources is 0.48 low on average (SEI = 0.48) but varies by ethnic
minority groups (Yao = 0.69) and (Bulang =0.39).
 There is some notion of a kind of “optimal diversity” based on our simple risk
measure.
 Econometric analysis can provide more insights into the opportunities and risks of
rubber farming.
Thanks for your attention!

  • 21. Conclusions  Rubber has taken over the rural economy in Xishunangbanna and other parts of Southern China (81% of the total land is used for rubber cultivation) and poverty has been reduced in the area.  Land usage, Input, productivity and revenue of smallholders rubber farming differ among ethnic groups, locations and the characteristics of household head.  Over 40 % of household income is now from rubber farming  Over 20% of rubber plots (in harvest phase) are below the breakeven point indicating riskiness of rubber farming which is affected by ethnic groups, harvest phase and altitude.  Diversity in income sources is 0.48 low on average (SEI = 0.48) but varies by ethnic minority groups (Yao = 0.69) and (Bulang =0.39).  There is some notion of a kind of “optimal diversity” based on our simple risk measure.  Econometric analysis can provide more insights into the opportunities and risks of rubber farming.

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. Reply comments:1. The objective of this tableis to show the land use for rubber farming. i.e. the share of rubber land area in total land area.“Percentage in total” just means the share of rubber land area in total land area. 81% illustrate that about 81% of land area are used for planting rubber for the total samples.For the different ethnic groups, we want to compare the differences of land use share for rubber.As we know, Dai and Hani people plant rubber earliest, and Yao people are the last.So the results suggest that the ethnic group who planted rubber earlier, the share of land use for rubber is higher.The ethnic group planted rubber more later, the share of land use for rubber is less.For the different altitude/counties, it is the similar explains.With the increasing of altitude, the share of land use for rubber is decreasing.2.For your comments, I agree with you that we should calculate the frequency.It could show the basic rubber land situation of our samples and describing our sample distributions by different categories.But I think it totally depends on our sample selections, It is unavailable to identify the differences of land use for rubber.So I suggest that at this moment, we just use the current table.
  2. Left side of the dashed line denotes that price is below the breakeven point, and net revenues of these rubber plots are negativeThe variation of distance in the left side illustrates the riskiness of rubber farming Reply your comment:The reasons that the actual price be below break even price more than 100:It is because that some rubber plots are the first year to harvest. In this situation, the farmers only harvest several times, so the production is very low. But they still need to invest. Hence breakeven price is quit large.e.g. the yield of first year is 2 kg/mu, and the price is 10yuan/kg. expense of input is 150 Yuan/mu, cost of family labor is 300yuan/mu.So the breakeven price is (300+150)/2=225yuan/kg, thus the distance 10-225=-215So there are several points where the actual price is below break even price more than 100.
  3. Here we need not to assume that rubber harvest starts after 6 year.Because the Harvest phase in the bar graph is just the productive phase.The productive phase is divided into three sub phase:1-5 years: means it is the first to 5th year after the beginning of harvesting. Named: Initial phase of harvesting.6-10years: means it is the 6th to 10th year after the beginning of harvesting. Named: Middle phase of harvestingMore than 10 years: means it is already harvested more than 10 years. Named: Final phase of harvesting
