| Outline of Research at the Start |
This is the first experimental study to explore the development pathway of the Agricultural Machineries Rental Service (AMRS) market through a PPP partnership institution.
|
| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
The effectiveness of an effective transition from manual labor to mechanized transplanting has been suggested for the diffusion of SRI farming methods in Bangladesh, but the machine rental market is not well developed in rural Bangladesh. To explore the potential of mechanized rice transplanting among the resource poor farmers (RPFs), we formally examine the impact of combined interventions of providing rental machinery services by a people-private-public (PPP) partnership institution, called the “mechanical yard system”, in collaborating with both the private and public sectors in Bangladesh. In our proposed “Mechanical Yard System” model, a private sector company in Bangladesh, provides machinery rental services to the farmers to reduce labor demand of rice production. Public Extension Department (Rural Development Academy/or Department of Agricultural Extension) provides technical training to farmers groups, including how to use machinery.
In FY 2023, based on the business plan we developed earlier, we commissioned Noyaborga limited to establish people-private-public (PPP) partnership institution, called the “mechanical yard system”, in collaborating with both the private and public sectors in the project areas.

| Current Status of Research Progress |
Current Status of Research Progress
2: Research has progressed on the whole more than it was originally planned.
Reason
The project seems to be on track though the implementation suffered little due to Covid 19 pandemic
|
| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
In FY2024, we will continue support for Noyaborga limited to continue mechanised rice transplanting under people-private-public (PPP) partnership institution, called the “mechanical yard system”, in the project areas.
Together with Research team, in FY 2024, we will analyze collected data, present results in International Conferences and publish a working paper.
