Popis:	The implementation of the voluntary adoption of the Code of Conduct (CoC) to promote environmental responsibility and sustainable development of Thai shrimp industry is examined. Farmers' perceived benefits, risks and uncertainties associated with the adoption and their perceived extra fixed cost are found to be the critical conditions to the success of the program. Improvement of farmers' perceptions through increased information and knowledge, development of supportive policies and mechanisms (i.e., a “Group CoC” system, insurance program, a combination of environmental policy approaches) and strengthening farmers organizations, as well as establishing networks among and between the players throughout the market chain are suggested to enhance the adoption and implementation of the scheme.
