A generalized sequence of mechanization of Asian rice production is developed, based on experience in Japan, Taiwan, and Korea. By 1978, these countries had reached a relatively high level of mechanized riceland preparation. Labor force growth rates among Asian countries are compared. A net social benefit model for evaluating the desirability of mechanizing rice production is outlined and often neglected factors are identified.
