3.5.4. Farmer Liability

Regarding the levels of liability, there were three groups of farmers: low liability (58,400–538,933 THB household−1), medium liability (538,934–1,019,467 THB household−1), and high liability (1,019,468–1,500,000 THB household−1). Low liability farmers mainly highlighted support for water system development, while medium liability farmers stressed assistance with cost reduction. High liability farmers highly valued cash incentive measures due to their direct and immediate impact on income. Farmers with low or medium liability gave higher priority to investment in their land (seeds, soil property analysis, and water sources).

#### 3.5.5. Number of Laborers in a Household

According to the number of household members, farms were grouped into low-labor households (1–3 persons) and high-labor households (3–5 persons). Low-labor households made seed support a higher priority than high-labor households. This was because most low-labor households conducted their agricultural activities on smaller areas, so seed support and soil property analysis could greatly help to reduce their production costs. High-labor households prioritized support for water system development, because potential improvements in their water systems could allow them to increase their agricultural activities and gain more income.
