Luong Thi My Duyen AN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.co ABSTRACT Tien Giang belongs to basin of Vietnam Mekong River Delta which has good weather and soil conditions for agriculture, forestry and aquaculture. Beside of rice as a main crop, Tien Giang has been carrying out the converting agricultural structure program, growing diverse crops like fruits, vegetables, and short-term industrial plants etc. Especially, in recent years, farmers have a chance to get good income from water melon crops because a water melon crop is only two-month which could give high yield and good quality. It not only is consumed in Vietnamese markets, but also exported to Chinese market and Cambodian markets by bordering. However, Tien Giang's water melon has not developed to a sustainable level yet because farmers' cultivation still brings spontaneous nature, lacks concentration and specialization. Moreover, there have not yet had any clear information about economic efficiency of this fruit which is provided for provincial authorities. That is one of reasons which the author implemented this research to evaluate the productive resources utilization for water melon production and the economic efficiency from 2010's summer-fall crop. Production function under log-log and Cobb-Douglas forms and SWOT analysis are applied. In this research, the author used the primary data through direct interview of 177 respondents at 7 districts across Tien Giang province. The study results showed that soil has not affected much to water melon yielding yet now. However soil will be the most important constraint factor to water melon yield because pest damage can be more seriously if water melon is cultivated continuously at the same location. And water melon is a special vegetable need to be taken care carefully; so, farmers should consider the production area which is suitable with their ability to plant and to gain the highest yield. Investment more in fertilizer had less effect to water melon yielding change; however, we should fertilize more phosphate fertilizer P20 5 during land preparation period for acid sulphate soil. Labor is also AN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.co considered as a determining factor, in which growing years of producers play the most important role in yielding change. In addition to, farmers have not cared to market information, agricultural extension services in locations, etc yet. In general, although farmers lack support of many organizations, water melon yielding which farmers gained is relatively high because of utilization of productive resources well.

However, water melon production has not been really stable yet at present. In 2007, the total water melon productive area of Tien Giang is 3,779 hectares, and output is 70,847 tons. In 2008, the total water melon productive area is only 2,954 hectares, and output is also only 55,754 tons (Tien Giang's Rural and Agriculture Development Department). The water melon cultivation in Tien Giang currently brings spontaneous nature, lacks concentration, lacks specialization, lacks market information, strongly price fluctuation, and market demanded quantity depends much on wholesalers or distributors even also changes according to season. At the producer's perspective, there is not currently available information on economic efficiency and ability to contribute profits from water melon planting into the income structure of farm households. Although there are many unknown information related to water melon cultivation and trading, but the author only is interested in the supply side, especially the economic efficiency of planting water melon in Tien Giang province. This research also assumes that the following weaknesses need to be strengthened in water melon production process a) low entrepreneurial ability of farmers of both genders and all ages; b) ability to confront bad natural conditions of farmers such as suddenly and usually climate change; c) water melon quality for market.2 Research problem It is not yet known what factors lead farmers to gain the highest water melon output. Farmers of various types will react differently to each different factor. This study is required to find out the potential factors impact to Tien Giang's water melon production based on production function model, theory of farm household economics and SWOT analysis. Page 1 AN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.co This study focused on evaluating the effectiveness of using inputs for water melon production, including resources in term of land, labor, capital (capital includes cash capital and physical capital such as fertilizer, seeds, etc). In addition to, market information also need to be considered to provide enough to certain markets, not surplus or deficit.3 Goal and specific objectives of the study Tien Giang is one of provinces in the core economic region in Western Vietnam. However, agriculture still plays a crucial role in economic development. The overall goal of the study is to advance the efficiency of agricultural production and improve the lives of farm households in Tien Giang province through water melon output. The specific objectives of the study are to: 1. Identify the potential factors which impact strongly to water melon production process in order to indicate the right ways and approaches to gain higher productivity. Estimate economic efficiency of different factors of production used in water melon cultivation. Make recommendations and strategic suggestions for government policy and farmer groups to enhance the profitability of water melon production to farmers 1.4 Research question The above research objectives mentioned the most important purpose of this research is to identify the potential factors impact to water melon production and estimate economic efficiency of those factors of production in water melon cultivation. Therefore, the author gives research question to address the objective such as: Page 2 UAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.co Which factors that impact potentially on Tien Giang's water melon production? How is economic efficiency of factors that impact to water melon production estimated? 1.5 Scope of research This research can not cover all factors impact to water melon production because of still other factors lie behind the above factors and weaknesses. It only studies some factors like inputs (productive area, labor, fertilizer, seed, etc), market information and growing years of farmers. Tien Giang has 8 districts (Go Cong Tay, Go Cong Dong, Cai Be, Cai Lay, Chau Thanh, Tan Phu Dong, Tan Phuoc, Cho Gao), 1 city (My Tho City) and 1 town (Go Cong Town). Through 177 questionnaires is interviewed directly from farmers, who planted water melon at least 1 year, across Tien Giang province within 3 months (from October to December 2010), this study will have enough data and information to analyze.6 The organization of the thesis Chapter 1 presents the rationale of this research including the research context, research problem, goal & specific objectives of the study, research questions, scope of research and the organization of the thesis. Chapter 2 is literature review. This chapter provides: (1) theory about farm household economies, production function and production factors of farm household; (2) empirical studies; and (3) analytic framework of this research. Chapter 3 introduces research methodology including analytical framework (the regression model, variable indication, sign expectation, variable description), data collection and sample distribution and analysis methods. Chapter 4 presents the analyses of water melon production in Tien Giang province and influences of input uses on water melon yield. In this chapter, the author describes the overall picture of Tien Giang province in terms of overview of Tien Page 3 AN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.co Giang province, climate condition, soil condition, water melon production in Tien Giang, and market and product competitiveness.
