Abstract

Rice is a primary commodity in the Philippines and a staple food for Filipino families. Climate change, low yield, and decreasing number of Filipinos engaged in agriculture lead to the instability in the supply of rice and fluctuation in market price affecting local farmers, rice millers, and consumers. In an attempt to address rice shortage and lower retail prices, Republic Act No. 11203 or Rice Tariffication Law was promulgated. Given the contribution of Nueva Ecija province in the rice economy of the country, it is vital to analyze the impact of the policy in the province, specifically, on the operations of 82 registered rice millers using descriptive method of research. Results indicate that the rice millers observe the traditional practices in trading milled rice. Most of them are not engaged in importation and are facing challenges related to the sudden policy reform. From the findings of the study, a new business model is recommended to help rice millers increase the scope of their operations and acquire necessary funding from banking institutions. The new model is seen to help the rice millers gain income from different ventures, allowing them to expand, grow and help the economy in the long run. Thus, raising sustainable investments in the rice industry in the province and in the Philippines.

Abstract

Almost all economic sectors in the world have been affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, including the national banking industry in Indonesia. This study purpose was to examine the differences in the financial performance of State-Owned Conventional Banks and State-Owned Sharia Banks before and during the Covid-19 pandemic. The assessment of financial performance uses the CAR ratio, NPL ratio (for conventional banking) and NPF ratio (for Sharia banking). The database used is the 2019 and 2020 banking financial reports in the website of Financial Services Authority and the websites of each bank. Based on purposive sampling technique, the selected banks that meet the criteria are BRI bank, Mandiri bank, BNI bank, BTN bank, BRI Syariah bank, BNI Syariah bank, and Syariah Mandiri bank. The results of paired sample t test analysis showed that Ho was accepted, meaning that there was no difference in the performance of Capital Adequacy Ratio at SOCB before and during the Covid-19 Pandemic. The analysis of paired sample t test for SOSB, which is seen from the CAR, shows that there is no difference in the performance of CAR ratio of SOSB before and during the Covid-19 pandemic. This indicates that both SOCB and SOSB can maintain their capital adequacy ratio. Conversely, the performance of SOCB credit financing (NPL), using the paired sample t test, shows that there is a difference in the NPL performance of SOCB before and during the Covid-19 pandemic. Meanwhile, contrary to the NPL results of SOCB, the NPF of SOSB shows no difference, both before the Covid-19 pandemic and during the Covid-19 pandemic. This indicates that the performance of SOSB credit financing (NPF) is relatively safe compared to the performance of  SOCB (NPL) credit financing.
