Agricultural development
A Retrospective View of Technological and Other Changes in Philippine Rice Farming, 1965-1982
Mechanisation and cropping intensification
Farm mechanisation in less developed countries was expected to increase output and cropping intensity by enabling greater ‘timeliness’ of crucial farm operations. However, empirical evidence shows no such effects. It is demonstrated that in low‐wage economies only a small number of machines can be economically viable in a given area; this number is generally inadequate to improve timeliness of operations
Agricultural sustainability in a changing world order
Measuring the impact of consumption linkages on the employment effects of mechanisation in Philippine rice production
A variant on the Social Accounting Matrix method is used to measure consumption linkages of alternative rice production technologies. The model is built for technology observed in the Philippines. Consumption linkages are computed by incorporating ‘consumption’, ‘distribution’, and ‘import substitution’ effects. One essence of the input‐output framework is the recognition of multiple sub‐sectors for production of a single product (rice). Simulati…
