抄録

Agricultural mechanization has emerged as a critical factor in transforming modern farming practices, as it addresses challenges and promotes efficiency and sustainability in a growing global population and increased food demand. This paper assessed the level of mechanization (hp/ha) in rice production and post-production systems in Surigao del Sur. Interviews were conducted with 95 farmers who are members of the Registry System for the Basic Sectors in Agriculture (RSBSA). Cost and return analysis shows a profit-cost ratio of 0.52. Moreover, the level of mechanization of the province, as computed using the Modified Agricultural Mechanization Index (MAMI) equation, is 3.80 hp/ha for the mechanical (combined harvester) method and 3.09 hp/ha for manual harvesting, which is still significantly low. It is justifiable since most agricultural operations, especially planting and crop care management, are performed manually. Land preparation and harvesting, mostly done mechanically, have the highest mechanization indices.
