Impact of green revolution role of middle peasant and middlemen
Answers
Rice is the basic food staple for people in monsoon
Asia as well as the major source of income for farmers
in the region. In the Philippines, for example, as much
as 40 percent of total calorie intake and about onethird of total crop output value in 1995-1996 were
derived from rice (National Statistical Coordination
Board, 1997, pp. 3-4). In the long past a major portion
of rice was consumed in producers' households. However, the share of marketable surplus has progressively
increased for recent years. Hence, efficiency in rice
marketing has become a more important determinant
of both consumers' living cost and producers' income.
