  3. Seed prices riel/kg $/kg Maize 14,781 $3.61 Soybean 2,998 $0.73 Mungbean 3,125 $0.76 Peanut 4,733 $1.15

Peanut input costs Operation Unit Unit No Value value of units riel $ First ploughing rai 40,000 6.25 250,000 60.98 Second plough rai 25,000 6.25 156,250 38.11 Seed kg 4,733 110 520,667 126.99 Planting p/d 12,750 10 127,500 31.10 1st weeding p/d 12,667 20 253,333 61.79 2nd weeding p/d 12,667 20 253,333 61.79 3rd weeding p/d 12,667 20 253,333 61.79 442.54 Harvest & threshing costs are not included here since they vary with yield

  7. Soybean

  8. Mungbean

  9. Peanut

  10. Issues Site 1 was damaged by pig and chicken – too close to house Site 2 may have been high fertility (no nitrate test) – soybean does not respond to inoculation under these conditions

  11. Conclusions Gross margins: peanut ($1,500-2,000/ha)  mungbean ($690-871)  soybean ($230-300/ha)  Rhizobium inoculation increased peanut GM by $613/ha Rhizobium inoculation increased mungbean GM by $181/ha Soybean did not respond to inoculation (see issues) Small farmers have given up on mungbean because of high harvest and threshing costs and low yields

  12. Thank you
