A survey of corn farmers in Moc Chau district was undertaken to examine the factors affecting their decision on corn storage. Qualitative choice models (binomial logit) were used to determine whether farmer's choices of storing and non-storing options were significantly affected by their individual characteristics and other socio economic factors. The factors found to be significantly affecting farmers' decision on corn storage were price of corn after storage, corn quantity produced, storage costs, total annual household income, number of years in farming experience, crop season and extension training. Other factors like equipment required for corn storage, gender of the household head and ethnicity were insignificant.
