Los Banos, Laguna (Philippines). 1983. p. 61-69. Received Feb 198485-105886Summary: Farm mechanization, especially expansion of labor-displacing technologies for rice production, reduces the use of domestic resources and increases the demand for imported inputs such as fuel, oil, engines, and spare parts. The effects of farm mechanization on the domestic resource cost of earning a net unit of foreign exchange from rice production are less than the effects of yield and the opportunity cost of land. Mechanization has a tendency to generate profits for society even though the demand for imports of machinery-related items is increased
