Context
• Rice: most sensitive food item– THE Staple– Major food expense for many households– Many farmers depend on rice farming
• … one of the most protected commodities
• … with a government office just to regulate trade in rice primarily

Context
• Philippines has generally been a net importer. Largest importer in 2008.
• Self-sufficiency in rice as a most challenging goal
• Talks of a no-import stance• Adds to the sensitivity

Food Price Spike2007-2008
• Volatile world rice market conditions– Low ending stocks– Export bans by certain countries
• ‘Herd’ reaction of importers

Objectives of the Study
• Determine the distributional impact of the 2008 rice price shock in the Philippines.
What are the characteristics of the affected households?
![Page 11: Distributional Impact of the 2008 Rice Crisis in the Philippines George Manzano & Aubren Prado University of Asia & the Pacific Manila, The Philippines](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022032703/56649d0a5503460f949dc5bc/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Immediate Policy Context
• Why are we interested in knowing who are the vulnerable groups to a rice price spike?
Efficient targeting
![Page 12: Distributional Impact of the 2008 Rice Crisis in the Philippines George Manzano & Aubren Prado University of Asia & the Pacific Manila, The Philippines](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022032703/56649d0a5503460f949dc5bc/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Immediate Policy Context
• How to make use of the information?
– Measures to alleviate suffering– Food: time element is critical– Design for rapid mobilization of aid in the
future
![Page 13: Distributional Impact of the 2008 Rice Crisis in the Philippines George Manzano & Aubren Prado University of Asia & the Pacific Manila, The Philippines](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022032703/56649d0a5503460f949dc5bc/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Broad Policy Context
• Response is always a rationing exercise– Resources are always scarce compared to
the needs.– Cost-benefit of more permanent solution,
crisis prevention

Methodology
• In general, when price of a commodity rises– Producer gains (higher income)– Consumer losses (higher expense)
• Extent of benefits and costs varies in degrees– Benefit to household: share of rice income to
total income– Cost to household: share of rice expenses to
total expenditure

Methodology
• Distribution of Benefit/Cost on per capita expenditures
• Classify according to household groups– Gender of the HH head– Agricultural vs Non-agricultural– Urban vs Rural
![Page 18: Distributional Impact of the 2008 Rice Crisis in the Philippines George Manzano & Aubren Prado University of Asia & the Pacific Manila, The Philippines](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022032703/56649d0a5503460f949dc5bc/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Vulnerability of households
• Groups that are more vulnerable to shocks in rice prices:– In general, poorer households across groups– Non-agricultural than Agricultural– Urban than Rural– Female-headed than Male-headed
![Page 19: Distributional Impact of the 2008 Rice Crisis in the Philippines George Manzano & Aubren Prado University of Asia & the Pacific Manila, The Philippines](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022032703/56649d0a5503460f949dc5bc/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Methodology
• Simulation– Actual rice price changes– Adjustments for the difference in farm gate and
retail prices of rice– Price changes between the pre-crisis phase
(January 2007 to February 2008) and the crisis phase (March 2008 and September 2008)
• Construction of the Benefits/Costs variable

Conclusions
• The effect of a rice price shock is regressive.
• Across HH per capita income, those affected more were– Female-headed HHs– Urban HHs– Non-agricultural HHs
• Geographical differences in gainers/losers
![Page 32: Distributional Impact of the 2008 Rice Crisis in the Philippines George Manzano & Aubren Prado University of Asia & the Pacific Manila, The Philippines](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022032703/56649d0a5503460f949dc5bc/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Policy Implications
• More efficient targeting exercise for safety net measures– Conditional Cash Transfers – NFA subsidized rice

Access to better data on rice income per household
Effects of rice changes on wages and inflation: second-order effects
