Abstract: In this study, we attempt to examine the effects of participation in a rice out grower scheme on several outcomes, such as rice income and output price, in Vietnam's Mekong Delta by using the propensity score matching approach and employing cross-sectional data gathered from 248 rice growers. The results reveal that participation in the outgrower scheme has a significantly positive impact on farmers' rice income and output selling price. A possible implication of the results of this study is that the outgrower scheme may help increase rice households' income in the Mekong Delta.
