Abstract
The study was aimed to determine the situation of applying advanced technologies in rice production of Khmer ethnic farmers in Soc Trang province as well as the factors influencing their application. Data for the study were from interviewing 193 Khmer ethnic farmers farming rice in Soc Trang province in the 2015 crop. Descriptive statistical analysis and binary logistic regression were used. The results showed that the levels of applying advanced technological models in rice production were relatively low, just from 0% to 27.5% for almost models, except those of high quality rice varieties and verified rice seeds which were relatively high as of 53.9% and 60.6%, respectively. The factors positively affecting the application of advanced technological models were farmer’s education level, their participation in social organisations, their land area for rice cultivation, local authority’s consideration, the coverage of advanced technologies from extension staff and agricultural input suppliers.
