Lao PDR<br />
Thailand<br />
Location: Study sites<br />
Figure 32: Profile of risk from climate impact each risk group at each study site<br />
Majority of the rain-fed farmer in Lao PDR is in low risk category, they are<br />
considered to be able to maintain their livelihood condition well under climate impact,<br />
partly because their household productivity is diversified over various activities, both onfarm<br />
and off-farm sources. As per interviewing with farmer in the study site, the rice<br />
production does not dominate the household productivity. They also live in the rural area<br />
where the population is low and surrounded by intact natural ecosystems that can provide<br />
sufficient products for alternate source of food as well as excess products that can be<br />
converted to or exchanged for other products required for daily necessity and cash. They<br />
also have other savings in form of reserved rice and cash convertible livestock to help<br />
them cope with impact from climate threat, even though cash saving is almost non-exist.<br />
In addition, the debt level of the farmer in Lao PDR is also virtually none, partly due to<br />
the limited availability of source of loan or other institutional lending mechanism, as well<br />
as social norms that is against indebt (Boulidam, 2005).<br />
From the field survey, the interviewed data revealed that the farmers in Thailand<br />
