Institutional Innovation for sustainable mechanical rental service for resource poor farmers

从体力劳动到机械化移植的有效过渡对于SRI耕作方法在孟加拉国的推广是有效的，但是机器租赁市场在孟加拉国农村并不发达。为了探索机械化水稻移植在资源贫乏农民（rfp）中的潜力，我们正式研究了由一个名为“机械场系统”的人-私人-公共（PPP）伙伴关系机构与孟加拉国私营和公共部门合作提供租赁机械服务的联合干预措施的影响。在我们提出的“机械堆场系统”模型中，孟加拉国的一家私营公司为农民提供机械租赁服务，以减少大米生产的劳动力需求。公共推广部（农村发展学院/或农业推广部）向农民团体提供技术培训，包括如何使用机械。在2022财年，我们委托进行了一项知识评估调查，这是与grip协调的同一研究团队（Kiban a 20H00075）一起进行的一项补充调查。我们还委托Noyaboraga，一家已经在项目地区的公共推广机构和农民团体之间建立了关系的私营公司，准备一份业务发展计划。

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.
