Book excerpt: Quantitative restriction (QR) on rice import has been a longstanding instrument of the Philippine government that regulated the importation of rice, protected rice farmers and supported the drive for rice self-sufficiency of the country. However, with the pas-sage of the Republic Act No. 11203 or the Philippine rice trade liberalization law in February 2019, the QR was lifted and replaced with import tariffs instead. This policy shift can have far-reaching impacts not only to rice and agriculture but to the entire economy and to the global rice market as well - with important implications to the general welfare, nutrition and food security of the country. Hence, an ex-ante impact assessment study aimed at simulating, quantifying and understanding the effects of rice liberalization on farmers, consumers and various stakeholders can assist the government in proactively crafting and putting in place appropriate investment and policy interventions, while transitioning from QR and moving toward longer-term rice and food security.

Book excerpt: The recent escalation of world food prices – particularly for cereals - prompted mass public indignation and demonstrations in many countries, from the price of tortilla flour in Mexico to that of rice in the Philippines and pasta in Italy. The crisis has important implications for future government trade and food security policies, as countries re-evaluate their reliance on potentially more volatile world markets to augment domestic supplies of staple foods. This book examines how government policies caused and responded to soaring world prices in the particular case of rice, which is the world's most important source of calories for the poor. Comparable case studies of policy reactions in different countries, principally across Asia, but also including the USA, provide the understanding necessary to evaluate the impact of trade policy on the food security of poor farmers and consumers. They also provide important insights into the concerns of developing countries that are relevant for future international trade negotiations in key agricultural commodities. As a result, more appropriate policies can be put in place to ensure more stable food supplies in the future. Published with the Food and Agriculture (FAO) Organization of the United Nations

Book excerpt: Tariffication of quantitative restrictions on rice imports was a key policy reform of the Duterte administration. This study reviews recent trends in the rice market, and assesses the poverty and distributional effects of rice tariffication using a computable general equilibrium model with microsimulation. Owing to the price difference between domestic prices in Philippines and exporting countries, imports of rice have surged under tariffication. As a result, domestic prices have fallen, though gross marketing margins have increased, amplifying the effect of the drop in retail prices on both wholesale prices and palay prices. The price and associated economic adjustments are expected to cause an increase in income poverty as conventionally measured. However, the increases are rather small, and would diminish over time. The value of the income loss suffered by the poor is far below what the amount provided by law to address problems in the rice economy with tariffication.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Self-sufficiency is the objective of every agricultural country. The Philippines has initially targeted rice self-sufficiency in 2013. However, this time frame has been moved and the country is likely to import rice from neighboring countries. With the wake of some reports of growing rice consumption and population growth in the Philippines, challenges in rice production, and an escalating amount of rice imported, self-sufficiency in rice is certainly a cause of substantial concern of the government. Thus, this study determined the self-sufficiency in rice status of the Philippines by analyzing the fourteen (14) rice-producing regions in the Philippines from 1992 to 2012. Four statistical tool where used in determining the results of the analysis namely, Stochastic Frontier Analysis, Data Envelopment Analysis – Malmquist. Productivity Index, Envelopment Analysis - Slack based Measurement of Efficiency, and Logistic regression. Results of the analysis showed rejection of the hypotheses implying that 91) Input factors affect production, consumption, and importation; (2) Cordillera Autonomous Region and Central Visayas are the two most productive and efficient regions; and (3) Rice production and rice importation affect rice self-sufficiency positively, while rice consumption affects rice self-sufficiency negatively. Overall, the Philippines is not rice self-sufficient due to increasing gap between production and consumption, and escalating amount in importation of rice.
