San Juan, Z. | Fujimoto, A., Tokyo Univ. of Agriculture, Tokyo (Japan)
The discovery of chemical flower inducers in the 1970s revolutionized mango production in the Philippines. Since then, commercial mango orchards planted with grafted trees started to proliferate, effective yet expensive pesticides were formulated, and labor become more specialized and intensive. However, the original backyard production adapted to this technological change. The rise in production costs, the capital deficient tree-owners, and the advanced technical know-how on production being limited only to certain groups had presented an economic incentive for the people to go into sharing practices of inputs and outputs. In Guimaras, a major mango production area, a unique sharing arrangement involving three parties has become a common practice. Based on a questionnaire survey of mango producers, this paper aims to clarify the input and output sharing arrangements in Guimaras, Philippines.
