| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
While the exports of high-value agricultural commodities from developing countries to developed countries continue to grow, the rate of rejection at the ports of developed countries still remains high, unable to pass the quarantine. Taking a case of the shrimp aquaculture in Vietnam, we examined why producers in developing countries do not adopt the internationally-recognized so-called good practices. We conducted three randomized controlled trials (RCT) on 1) conducting a workshop on good practices to disseminate knowledge, 2) visualizing the true quality of shrimp based on laboratory tests, and 3) presenting possibilities of receiving price premium for shrimps of high-quality. Based on panel data regression analyses, we find that the price premium had the greatest effects. Further, we implemented an RCT on whether the targeting method of training participants affects the overall outcome of the training and found that simple random sampling method worked the best in our study.
