NOTES: All figures are average of each country figure and values are in US$/ha, but Indonesia's figures are in US$/100 m2, as are Philippines' cage values. (1) Exchange rates: US$ 1.00 = Tk 49 (Bangladesh); RMB¥ 8.1 (China); Rs 46 (India); Rp 7 000 (Indonesia); p 27 (Philippines -1995-996); B 38 (Thailand); and D 14 000 (Viet Nam). (2) Average farm-gate price was calculated from survey data (RMB¥ 7/kg) and average inputs and output were calculated from China's country report. (3) Operating profit = Total revenue - Variable cost.Table 8. Total factor productivity of carp polyculture production in selected Asian countries, 1998-99.SOURCES: For Philippines: Dey et al., 2000, and DEGITA Field survey 1995-1996.

Confined to mostly private intermediaries (for production and

Bulk of the marketing credit is provided by intermediaries and
