The study analyzes the market access constraints of smallholder rice farmers in the Philippines, in order to identify entry points and to develop specific recommendations. This study identifies the various actors in the rice value chain and their interactions to point to four market linkages and a smallholder typology. The report makes five intervention area recommendations that target market-related bottlenecks. To promote market-oriented rice production, entrepreneurship and market linkages, the study team also recommends implementing activities with specific output targets.
