The average revenue was 34.79 million VND, value added was 17.5 million VND. The production cost was too high, at 29.06 million VND, occupied 83.5% total revenue, which led to the low net income of the household at only 5.7 million VND per ha, accounted for only 16.5% of revenue. Counted on a hectare, hired labor cost took part 29% of total cost, proportion for the material equipment was 26.7%. Fertilizers and pesticide cost accounted for 28.7%, of which, 20% belonged to NPK. Some suggestion to improve the benefit for farmers were: reducing the production cost by using optimal fertilizers, pesticide; good material and equipment management; and applying technology and machine in rice production.
