This has implications for poverty: in Nepal, farmers\u2019 income from rice farming is estimated at just 13% of the amount needed for a basic but decent income. The burden is particularly bad for women farming and working in the Asian rice sector: they receive lower wages and often suffer discrimination. There are opportunities for change.<\/p>\n<p>For example, smarter government regulation to protect workers\u2019 rights and empower small-scale producers can support better returns for farmers; and responsible private sector investment can support small-scale producers to benefit from rapidly modernising rice markets.<\/p>\n<p>This paper puts forward a vision for a more equitable, sustainable andclimate-resilient rice sector; and provides recommendations for governments and the private sector to help achieve that vision.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h6>For futher information:<\/h6>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/lebasic.com\/v2\/content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Chaine-de-valeur-du-riz-Asie_Rapport-Oxfam-UK.pdf\">the study by Oxfam<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/lebasic.com\/v2\/content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Chaine-de-valeur-du-riz-Asie_Rapport-de-recherche-UK.pdf\">our research report<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New research commissioned by Oxfam and realized by Basic shows that rice farmers in some countries can receive as little as 4% of the price paid by consumers.
