Gender differentials in farming efficiency and profits: The case of rice production in
the Philippines
Topic/Lesson

1. Difficult Concepts (What concepts did you find difficult to understand?)

i. Women have less power in the decision-making process

ii. Fixed costs on farming
iii. Getting the total income of farmers

2. Insights (What new insights or learnings did you gain in discussion/

activity?)

i. Before reading the article/understanding the lesson, I thought that women

does not have enough knowledge or are not that capable of doing
agricultural works because I haven’t heard about women involving in
doing some cropping activity.
However, reading the article/understanding the lesson, I now think/realize
that women include about 43% of the rural work power in creating
nations, extending from 20% in Latin America to half in sub-Saharan Africa
and East Asia. In particular, a bigger number of them are engaged with
the production of rice, coconut, and banana crops.Furthermore, women
have a primary job in agribusiness—sustenance handling, advertising,
buyer related action, and worth included nourishment preparing.

ii. Before reading the article/understanding the lesson, I thought when

women ran the farming it wouldresult to failure or low cropping harvest.
However, reading the article/understanding the lesson, I now think/realize
that female-headed ranch family units have a higher estimation of
generation than male-headed families have. Be that as it may, female-
headed homestead family units are less proficient (cultivating
 effectiveness and yield per hectare) than male-headed families with
regards to cultivating. The rental expense of land and homestead capital
and variable costs, for example, enlisted work and seeds were higher for
female-headed family units than for those headed by men.
Notwithstanding, water system expenses were lower for female-headed
homestead family units than for their male partners.

iii. Before reading the article/understanding the lesson, I thought that gender
equality has nothing to do in agriculture during harvest.
However, reading the article/understanding the lesson, I now think/realize
gender equality can prompt farming profitability gains; women's
expanded control of family unit assets can improve results for the people
to come. Enabling women as financial, social, and political on-screen
characters can bring about progressively agent basic leadership.

3. Questions (What questions would you want answers for? Or vague areas
you want more explanations about?

i. What will happen if all men would migrate in urban places for better
jobs and incomes and leave farming on women supervision?
ii. If there is a rice production crisis in the Phippines, what food can be
alternative for rice?
iii. Why does women’s contribution are most of the time undervalued?
