| Abstract | The Philippine sugar industry has been bogged down by
problems resulting from both domestic and international
developments so that it is faced with declining industry indexes.
This study models the industry using the system dynamics
methodology of feedback systems in an attempt to explain these
influences.
The study reveals strong feedback loops affecting the
availability of funds that finance the industry. This explains
the falling production and inventory levels. The strong influence
of the feedback loop lies in the pricing system that does not
compensate the costs incurred by the agricultural sector. |
