Figure 74. Upland/IVS/Boli rice output value per acre by district (Leones)<br />
Figure 75. Average yield of rice per rice type by district (bushels/acre)<br />
the Northern regions. IVS and Upland rice are<br />
cultivated in all 5 districts, whereas Boli rice<br />
is cultivated only in Bombali. IVS rice output<br />
value is quite similar in Kailahun, Kenema and<br />
Bombali districts and is slightly higher than the<br />
output value of the Upland rice. In the other<br />
two districts, Kono and Tonkolili the Upland rice<br />
generates higher output value, compared to the<br />
IVS rice.<br />
From Figure 75 it can be seen that the rice<br />
yield per acre in the Northern districts are on<br />
average much lower, compared to the Eastern<br />
ones.<br />
6.3.2 Labour productivity<br />
Labour productivity is measured as an<br />
output per working unit, in monetary terms<br />
(output value per working unit). Working unit<br />
includes both household and hired labour as<br />
full time equivalent. In addition, output obtained<br />
per working unit given land availability is also<br />
introduced as a rough indication of technical<br />
efficiency between crop types.<br />
The labour productivity on total output<br />
value per day for five districts can be seen in<br />
Figure 76. It should be noted that no information
