Sampling procedure

A. Sample design Farms are grouped in clusters, which represent a crop grown in an area with homogenous agro- ecological conditions and include comparable types of farms. The sample includes reference and benchmark farms. The reference farms were selected by Syngenta and the benchmark farms were randomly selected by Kynetec within the same cluster.

B. Sample size Sample sizes for each cluster are determined with the aim to measure statistically significant increases in crop efficiency over time. This is done by Kynetec based on target productivity increases and assumptions regarding the variability of farm metrics in each cluster. The smaller the expected increase, the larger the sample size needed to measure significant differences over time. Variability within clusters is assumed based on public research and expert opinion. In addition, growers are also grouped in clusters as a means of keeping variances under control, as well as distinguishing between growers in terms of crop size, region and technological level. A minimum sample size of 20 interviews per cluster is needed. The minimum number of reference farms is 5 of 20. The optimal number of reference farms is 10 of 20 (balanced sample).

C. Selection procedure The respondents were picked randomly using a “quota based random sampling” procedure. Growers were first randomly selected and then checked if they complied with the quotas for crops, region, farm size etc. To avoid clustering high number of interviews at one sampling point, interviewers were instructed to do a maximum of 5 interviews in one village.

BF Screened from Philippines were selected based on the following criterion: (a) smallholder rice growers Location: Luzon - Mindoro (Southern Luzon) mid-tier (sub-optimal CP/SE use): mid-tier growers use generic CP, cheaper CP, non hybrid (conventional) seeds
Smallholder farms with average to high levels of mechanization
Should be Integrated Pest Management advocates
less accessible to technology: poor farmers, don't have the money to buy quality seeds, fertilizers,... Don't use machinery yet
simple knowledge on agronomy and pests
influenced by fellow farmers and retailers
not strong financial status: don't have extra money on bank account and so need longer credit to pay (as a consequence: interest increases) may need longer credit

Cleaning operations

Data processing:

Kynetec uses SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) for data entry, cleaning, analysis, and reporting. After collection, the farm data is entered into a local database, reviewed, and quality-checked by the local Kynetec agency. In the case of missing values or inconsistencies, farmers are re-contacted. In some cases, grower data is verified with local experts (e.g. retailers) to ensure data accuracy and validity. After country-level cleaning, the farm-level data is submitted to the global Kynetec headquarters for processing. In the case of missing values or inconsistences, the local Kynetec office was re-contacted to clarify and solve issues.

Quality assurance Various consistency checks and internal controls are implemented throughout the entire data collection and reporting process in order to ensure unbiased, high quality data.

• Screening: Each grower is screened and selected by Kynetec based on cluster-specific criteria to ensure a comparable group of growers within each cluster. This helps keeping variability low.

• Evaluation of the questionnaire: The questionnaire aligns with the global objective of the project and is adapted to the local context (e.g. interviewers and growers should understand what is asked). Each year the questionnaire is evaluated based on several criteria, and updated where needed.

• Briefing of interviewers: Each year, local interviewers - familiar with the local context of farming -are thoroughly briefed to fully comprehend the questionnaire to obtain unbiased, accurate answers from respondents.

• Cross-validation of the answers: o Kynetec captures all growers' responses through a digital data-entry tool. Various logical and consistency checks are automated in this tool (e.g. total crop size in hectares cannot be larger than farm size) o Kynetec cross validates the answers of the growers in three different ways: 1. Within the grower (check if growers respond consistently during the interview) 2. Across years (check if growers respond consistently throughout the years) 3. Within cluster (compare a grower's responses with those of others in the group) o All the above mentioned inconsistencies are followed up by contacting the growers and asking them to verify their answers. The data is updated after verification. All updates are tracked.

• Check and discuss evolutions and patterns: Global evolutions are calculated, discussed and reviewed on a monthly basis jointly by Kynetec and Syngenta.

• Sensitivity analysis: sensitivity analysis is conducted to evaluate the global results in terms of outliers, retention rates and overall statistical robustness. The results of the sensitivity analysis are discussed jointly by Kynetec and Syngenta.

• It is recommended that users interested in using the administrative level 1 variable in the location dataset use this variable with care and crosscheck it with the postal code variable.

Data appraisal

Due to the above mentioned checks, irregularities in fertilizer usage data were discovered which had to be corrected:

For data collection wave 2014, respondents were asked to give a total estimate of the fertilizer NPK-rates that were applied in the fields. From 2015 onwards, the questionnaire was redesigned to be more precise and obtain data by individual fertilizer products. The new method of measuring fertilizer inputs leads to more accurate results, but also makes a year-on-year comparison difficult. After evaluating several solutions to this problems, 2014 fertilizer usage (NPK input) was re-estimated by calculating a weighted average of fertilizer usage in the following years.

The HiH Agricultural Typology analysis targets the identification of micro-regional level innovation opportunities, bottlenecks, and investment gaps. This concept is based on the production possibilities frontier applied to farm activities. It draws on household-level surveys and geospatial data on agroecological conditions, accessibility, and poverty.

The final Agricultural Typology consists of a classification representing a combination of agricultural potential, agricultural efficiency, and priority (poverty) components in each region. The 7 classes are as follows:

• Critical with moderate agricultural opportunities.

• Medium priority with moderate agricultural opportunities.

• Low priority.

• High priority.

• Medium priority with high agricultural opportunities.

• Low priority with high agricultural opportunities.

• High-performance.

** Data Components**

The Agricultural Potential component provides the maximum agricultural income smallholder farmers can attain if performing at maximum capacity (their own, as well as of the markets, productive infrastructure, and basic services surrounding them). It is determined by both the biophysical and economic factors. The interaction of these two sets of elements establishes the maximum income a farmer can earn from agricultural activities.

The Agricultural Efficiency component defines how much of the potential is attained by farmers in a region under current conditions. To increase their efficiency, farmers need to reduce transaction costs in agricultural production and marketing through improved infrastructure (such as roads) and services (such as market information), overcome market failures (access to credit, insurance, land markets, etc.), and receive better access to basic services (such as education and extension services).

The Priority component reveals a region’s degree of urgency for investments in development, measured in terms of the wellbeing of the local population, the target beneficiaries of agricultural innovation efforts.

Simultaneously, the growing chemical processing and metal manufacturing sectors contribute significantly to sulfur demand. Increased industrialization and infrastructure development within ASEAN further amplify this demand. While the market faces potential restraints such as price volatility of sulfur and environmental regulations, these are likely to be mitigated by the strong underlying demand from key industries and the region's economic growth trajectory. Specific regional variations exist. For example, Malaysia's established petrochemical industry and Singapore's strategic location likely contribute to higher per capita consumption compared to other nations within the ASEAN bloc. Indonesia's significant agricultural sector translates into considerable demand for sulfur-based fertilizers, while Vietnam's expanding manufacturing base drives demand from chemical processing and industrial applications. The competitive landscape comprises both major international players like Abu Dhabi National Oil Company, SINOPEC, and Shell, as well as regional players such as Petronas and PT Pertamina. This competition fosters innovation and price competitiveness within the market. The forecast period (2025-2033) suggests a continued upward trend, driven by consistent economic growth across the ASEAN region and sustained investment in industrial capacity expansion. While specific regional data for Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, Philippines, and Vietnam is unavailable, logical estimations based on market share and industrial development suggest that Indonesia and Vietnam will likely experience the strongest growth within this forecast period, mirroring their rapid industrialization and agricultural expansion. The "Rest of ASEAN Countries" segment will contribute modestly, reflecting their comparatively smaller industrial base. The continued focus on sustainable agricultural practices and stringent environmental regulations will, however, influence market dynamics, potentially favouring companies employing environmentally friendly sulfur production and handling methods.
