Share of Paddy Production and Rice Processing Industries in Regional GDP (percentage)
& Regional Paddy Production (million ton)
Note: all regions except the Northwest and Central Highlands ‘export’ rice, although the Mekong Delta is by far the largest international exporter. More than 50% of the rice output is produced by the MKD and more than 90% of internationally exported rice comes from the MKD.

‘Bottom-up’ Regional CGE Model
• Basic Structure: ORANI format (essentially 8 ORANI models combined and integrated at the regional level), characterised by:
• 28 separate Commodities and Industries over 8 Regions • Sectors: Households (urban and rural), Government,
Investors and Foreign (exports and imports) • Occupation types (skilled and unskilled) • Taxes (excise, VAT, duties) • Margins (wholesale and retail charges, transportation)
![Page 5: Food Security and the Poor: Regional Effects of Rice ... · rice export prices. • Policy Scenarios: (1) Free Trade: ‘Free’ trade in Vietnam (2) Trade with Export Limits or Quota](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042417/5f32740be4787652ee52a0eb/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Household Data Simulation • Data: VHLSS 2006, sample survey of 9,189 households. • Changes in prices affect both household consumption and production:
• Consumer surplus (second order approximation):
• Producer surplus (second order approximation):
• Net Benefit Ratio: ratio of Net Benefit to Household Expenditures

Policy Scenarios • Overall price shock: An increase in export demand that leads to a roughly 30+% increase in
rice export prices. • Policy Scenarios:
(1) Free Trade: ‘Free’ trade in Vietnam (2) Trade with Export Limits or Quota on Rice Exports (Quota)
• Exports no larger than exports in the previous period, or increase in exports is 0%: Assumption of fully integrated rice market
• Actual policy: Partial ban on new export contracts on March 28th 2008 until end of May 2008.
(3) Trade with Export Limits and 15% Producer Tax (Quota Monopolist) • Same as Quota but with fragmented rice market – rice can not move freely from
surplus regions to the ones in shortage. • Simulated as the effect of a duopoly (Vina Food I & II) choosing to have super
normal profits (4) Trade with Export Tariff of 5% (Tariff)
• Free trade but with a tariff: Partially limits exports with tariff revenue.

Closing Remarks • Alternative rice export policies have relatively small impact on
regional GDP, but large and differential regional impacts in this model. In general, policies other than increased trade (of some sort) greatly impact the Mekong River Delta region most in terms of lost profitability.
• Micro-simulation shows that the Vietnam Rice Export Ban in 2008 in the context of fragmented rice market negatively affects all regions and (almost) all household categories
• Free Trade Policy turns out preferred and the most pro-poor policy for Vietnam in terms of the net benefit (as the sum of consumer and producer surplus) and the net benefit ratio as the ratio of net benefit to household expenditure
