Farmers' decisions regarding land usage have evolved over time. Small farmers have a tendency to make a variety of land usage choices. This study examined the relative profitability and determining factors of shifting cultivation. A total of 110 farmers were selected using a multistage random sampling technique. The objectives of the study were attained using descriptive statistics and Probit regression. The results indicated that the decision to shift land towards smallscale aquaculture is financially profitable. The econometric model indicated that occupation, education, farm size, and perception of rice price had a significant impact on the decision to shift land. Farmers who perceive a lower rice price are 6.1% more likely to shift than those who perceive a higher price. Capital shortage and a high cost of feed in shifting cultivation were among the various obstacles respondents faced. If a rice farm undergoes conversion into a fish farm, it is imperative for the government to enact policies that can facilitate farmers in making informed decisions (original abstract)
