Abstract
Despite continuing debates over the use of chemicals in agriculture, the use of pesticides in food crop production in tidal lowlands has been unavoidable partly due to the uncertainty caused by climate change. The reason behind this is to maintain current productivity and to prevent loss due to pest and disease threats caused by a shift in planting season. A survey has been conducted to study the cost (including environmental cost) of chemical use in rice production in tidal lowland. A random sample of 500 farm-households was drawn to prove whether the use of chemicals has an economic support. The result indicates that the use of chemical has significant effect on rice production. However, chemical use has caused externality and the cost required to recover this externality is higher than the external cost itself. Therefore, reducing the use of chemicals would possibly be a choice for rational farmers.
