Abstract

Abstract: 【Objective】 The impact of hybrid maize technology on farmers’ income, livelihood strategy and income disparity was analyzed by employing rural household survey data from mountain regions of Southwest Yunnan. 【Method】Using Feasible Generalized Least Square and Regress-base Decomposition approach, this paper studied the determinants of farmers’ income and livelihoods, and estimated the contribution of adoption of hybrid maize technology to income disparity. 【Result】The adoption of hybrid maize technology had a significant positive effect on farmers’ income. Rural households net income and food crop income increased by 0.5% and 2.5%, respectively, when the area of hybrid maize increased by 1%. The effect of adoption of technology on income inequality was just 0.005. 【Conclusion】In the mountain regions of Southwest Yunnan, hybrid maize technology is an appropriate technology, which can increase farmers’ income and not worsen the income disparity among farmers.

Key words: hybrid maize , farmers' income , livelihood strategy , income disparity
