Title: Comparison of Economic Benefit between Organic Rice and Convention Rice Production
Abstract: The yield,cost price and profit of organic rice produced from three different regions including Yixin region of Jiangsu province,Chongmingdao of Shanghai city and Liping county of Guizhou province was compared to systematically evaluate the integrated economic benefit of organic rice for promoting sustainable development of organic rice production.The results showed that the input of organic rice production in three different regions was 46.28%,24.95% and 21.69% higher than convention rice production but their yield was only 55%,93.78% and 81.65% of convention rice production respectively and there wasonly obvious difference in input and yield of organic rice production between three regions.Therefore,the important factors affecting economic benefit of organic rice production are its cost reduction and yield increase and the key measures for sustainable development of organic rice production includes the scientific organic cultivation techniques,appropriate governmental subsidies and reasonable selling price.
