The rice tariffication law restricts imports, benefiting local farmers by making their products more competitive against higher-priced imported rice. A micro-simulation model showed a 52% income increase for rice farmers benefiting from the law, while non-recipients saw a 19% decrease in income. Additionally, around 3,000 non-rice farmers shifted to rice farming due to improved income opportunities in the sector.

How government policy on rice imports affect local farmers?

The rice tariffication law are used to restrict imports. Simply put,
they increase the price of goods and services purchased from another
country, making them less attractive to domestic consumers. It had a positive
effect on the farmer in our own country in the reason that it lessens the
possibility of imports of rice and the imported rice have a higher cost than the
rice that our farmer will sell, it can attract more costumer because the cost is
lower than the imported rice

It was found that households whose heads were involved in agricultural


activities and had more years of education had the highest income in the 2018
FIES. In the micro-simulation model, it was observed that the implementation
of the Rice Tariffication Law resulted in a noteworthy 52% increase in the total
income of rice farmers who were recipients of the law, while non-recipients
experienced a negative 19% change in their income. Moreover, an estimated
3,000 non-rice farmers transitioned to rice farming as income increased in rice
farming activities.
