Abstrak

Highlights • Labor shortage due to out-migration adversely affected smallholder farmers in Nepal.• Adoption of scale-appropriate mechanization increased rice productivity by 1110 kg/ha.• Adoption of mechanization by non-adopters would increase rice productivity by 1250 kg/ha.• Very small rice cultivating farms (≤0.25 ha) benefited most from adoption of mechanization.• Rising on-farm rural wage due to labor shortage was the primary driver of mini-tiller adoption.
