The Philippines Agricultural Sector in 2000 A.D. Result From The MAAGAP National Model
Over the past several years a mathematical programming model for the Philippine agricultural sector has been developed for policy and planning analysis. The purpose of this paper is to report on the use of the MAAGAP l/ in looking ahead to the year 2000 using alternative export prices of sugar and coconut products. Since the theory, structure and validation of the model has been reported elsewhere it will only be summarized in this paper. Next the general assumptions used for the analysis are given. Following this analysis of the results obtained and their implications for planning will be discussed
