Economic Analysis of Forage Production on Paddy Field

This study analyzes the forage production situations of the forage production complexes using idle land cropping after rice harvest to identify economic feasibility and magnification measures of the forage production. Major research results can be summarized as follows: When compared with importing forage price, production cost of forage cropping after rice harvest provides 41~45% economic benefits. Besides income increase to farmers, the results indicate that the forage cropping after rice harvest has much potential to increase land and machinery use efficiency. Also, to expand the roughage production acreage and to save production cost, it is recommended that land should be selected in the places with well planning and drainage and forage production complex should be composed of 2~6 farmers and 20~60 ha of farm size to improve machinery usa efficiency.
