摘要

一个多世纪以来，制糖业塑造了斐济经济的发展;但是，在过去的15年里，甘蔗产量一直在下降。对斐济300多名甘蔗农民进行了一项研究，以确定作物多样化的好处，并比较完全从事甘蔗种植的农民和实行多样化种植的甘蔗农民的盈利水平。研究结果表明，后一组农民的盈利能力比前一组农民高出45%。斐济有潜力通过多样化提高农业产出，但相关利益攸关方需要帮助农民获得市场，并提供适当的指导和培训。

Benefits of crop diversification in Fiji's sugarcane farming

The sugar industry has shaped the development of Fiji's economy for over a century; but, for the past 15 years, sugarcane production has been declining. A study was undertaken of over 300 sugarcane farmers in Fiji to determine the benefits of crop diversification and to compare the level of profitability for farmers fully dedicated to sugarcane farming and sugarcane farmers who have diversified. The findings demonstrate that a farmer in the latter group was able to achieve 45% higher profitability than one in the former. Fiji has the potential to increase farm output from diversification, but the relevant stakeholders need to help farmers secure markets and provide appropriate guidance and training.

期刊介绍： Asia & the Pacific Policy Studies is the flagship journal of the Crawford School of Public Policy at The Australian National University. It is a peer-reviewed journal that targets research in policy studies in Australia, Asia and the Pacific, across a discipline focus that includes economics, political science, governance, development and the environment. Specific themes of recent interest include health and education, aid, migration, inequality, poverty reduction, energy, climate and the environment, food policy, public administration, the role of the private sector in public policy, trade, foreign policy, natural resource management and development policy. Papers on a range of topics that speak to various disciplines, the region and policy makers are encouraged. The goal of the journal is to break down barriers across disciplines, and generate policy impact. Submissions will be reviewed on the basis of content, policy relevance and readability.
