| 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 FY2022, we commissioned a Knowledge assessment survey, a complementary survey together with the same research team coordinated at GRIPS (Kiban A 20H00075). We also commissioned Noyaboraga, a private sector company, who already developed relationship between public extension agents and farmers group in the project areas, to prepare a business development plan.

Current Status of Research Progress
2: Research has progressed on the whole more than it was originally planned.
Reason
A good `Business Development Plan` has been prepared at FY 2022 which will enable us to initiate our main intervention (establishment of Mechanical yard system.
|
| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
Based on the business development plan developed earlier, in FY 2023, we plan to move toward the establishment of a mechanical yard system to test our PPP approach in the following Years.
Together with Research team, in FY 2023, we will analyze collected data, present results in International Conferences and publish a working paper.
