Title:Factors Affecting Farmers` Decisions to Participate in the Circular Economy in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam

Abstract:The development of the circular economy model in Vietnam is still facing several shortcomings. One of the main issues is the lack of participation from farmers, which varies significantly among different localities and regions. This poses a significant challenge for researchers and policymakers who must collaborate to find effective solutions. To address this issue, a study was conducted using survey data from 600 farmers in the Mekong Delta region of Vietnam. By applying a Binary Logistic Regression model, the study identified nine key factors that affect farmers` participation in the circular economy. These factors include their attitude towards the circular economy, access to credit, level of interaction with agricultural extension staff, subjective norms, agricultural land area, non-agricultural income, education level, age of the household head, and distance from home to the nearest market.

Keywords:Circular economy; Attitude; Subjective norms; Decision to participate; Binary Logistic Regression model; Mekong Delta, Vietnam.
