Summary: This study estimated the health impact value of the VietGAP program on the health of farmers in Thua Thien Hue province. By employing the propensity score matching (PSM) method, findings show that the VietGAP program has a significant impact on farmers’ health. In particular, the program reduces farmers’ health problems due to pesticide exposure by 15.6%, 22.9%, 25.5%, and 23.6%, respectively, based on four types of matching. Most health problems due to pesticide exposure are moderate in severity and have short-term effects. Conventional farmers experience more health problems with more significant symptoms than VietGAP farmers do. By applying the health cost derived from direct and indirect costs, the health impact value from the VietGAP program is VND 521,870. Many farmers are aware of the harmful effects of pesticide use; intensive use of pesticides and using inadequate protective equipment increase the health risks faced by farmers. This study provided evidence of the positive impacts of the VietGAP program on the health status of farmers in Thua Thien Hue province. It is therefore hoped that the production, consumption, and management solutions provided by the VietGAP program can encourage farmers to use environment-friendly agricultural practices.

Summary: This research evaluated small-scale farmers’ knowledge, perceptions of pesticide risks, and practices with regard to pesticide use to identify the determinants of their behavior. A choice experiment approach was also applied to investigate farmers’ valuations of health risk changes associated with pesticide use. A total of 630 farmers from seven towns in Anqiu County, China were interviewed and 420 farmers were randomly assigned to answer choice experiment valuation tasks. Results show that the frequency of pesticide application by local farmers is high and that the improper disposal of pesticides after use is common in the study area. The probability of pesticide overuse significantly decreased with farmers’ risk perceptions, willingness to reduce pesticide use, better social relationships, and strict government monitoring. Results of the choice experiment show that cancer consequence due to pesticide use decreases the utility of the farmer. Household income, education, and age have significant and positive impacts on farmers’ WTP. Farmers who are more educated or female are more likely to accept the compensation scheme if health risks increase. The marginal WTA for the same risk change is about two times higher than the marginal WTP.
