| dc.description.abstract | This paper investigates the regional distribution pattern of NF A rice consumption in the Philippines. Factors that affect the expenditure of NF A rice and the economic efficiency of the subsidy are also considered. Using the data from the 2009 Family Income and Expenditure Survey (FIES), we conclude that consumption of NF A rice is largely concentrated on the Northern part of the Philippines, Luzon area. Except for ARMM, almost all of the Mindanao regions consume small quantities of NF A rice relative to the consumption in NCR. An econometric model based on Heckman regression reveals that regions with lower poverty incidence are the ones consuming significant amount of NF A rice, controlling for other factors such as national income decile, total family members, total family income, fish and meat expenditures, agricultural households, sex and employment status of household head. This study therefore recommends that efforts should be geared towards the formulation of better distribution strategy at the regional level. | |
