Abstract

This paper estimates the contribution of rice policies to the level and distribution of income among producers, consumers, and the public sector. The results show that rice market policies transferred income from consumers to producers and to the public sector. Losses to consumers more than offset gains to producers and the public sector, however. Thus, rice market interventions reduced total income in Liberia. This and other papers in this series suggest agricultural policy alternatives that would accomplish objectives of income redistribution and rice price stabilization while adding to income of Liberia. These 'alternatives can help in formulating an overall Liberian agricultural policy.
