Abstract
The objectives of this research are to analyze the characteristics of whiteleg shrimp farm, energy management, costs and returns from raising white shrimp and to analyze factors affecting attention to use the solar cell among whiteleg shrimp farmers in Chanthaburi, Chachoengsao, and Trat provinces, a total of 150 farmers. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and logit model. The research results found that farmers have an intensive farm, with an average whiteleg shrimp production of 1,352.70 kilograms/rai, it uses a lot of energy to manage the farming, an average energy cost of 15,835.80 baht/rai and a total cost of 140,967.69 baht/rai, a total production value of 145,593.45 baht/rai, resulting in net income 4,625.76 baht/rai, or equivalent to 4.10 baht/kilogram. As for factors affecting attention to use the solar cells from analysis of the logit model, it was found that the educational level, labor, income from raising whiteleg shrimp, electricity cost attitude towards using solar cells and environmental awareness were factors statistically significant affecting to the attention to use the solar cells among sample farmers.
Therefore, the government sector should promote and disseminate knowledge and benefits of using solar cells, to create a good attitude towards the use of clean alternative energy, and environmentally friendly and, also support farmers to reduce production costs and reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the white shrimp farming process.
