Introduction
Food is one of the basic needs of a human. For us Filipinos, rice is the main food
served in our daily meal. Ninety per cent of the world’s rice crop is grown and consumed
in Asia. Although protein in rice is low, it is one of the highest quality cereal proteins.
Rice milling companies emerged one by one to distribute different types of rice. Milling
is a crucial step in post-production of rice. The basic objective of a rice milling system is
to remove the husk and the bran layers, and produce an edible, white rice kernel that is
sufficiently milled and free of impurities. Depending on the requirements of the
customer, the rice should have a minimum number of broken kernels.
Founded by Lita and Teodoro Galvez-Chan and established in 2013, TL3MJ Rice Mill
Corporation has been in the industry for quite a while. It was a family business with six
branches as of now here in Wakas, Bocaue, Bulacan. Five branches are located at
Intercity while the other one is located at Golden City Business Park. TL3MJ came from
the first letter of the name of each member of Chan Family. “T” stands for Teodoro, “L”
stands for Lita, “3M” stands for Ma. Christina, Ma. Veronica, Ma. Mato (Teodoro and
Lita’s daughters) and “J” stands for Jerome (Teodoro and Lita’s only son).
The siblings, Teodoro and Lita’s offsprings, are each currently handling the
branches at Intercity. While, the remaining one, TL3MJ Rice Mill Corporation is 1 774
sq. m. wide and for lease. The tenant of the land is currently handling the business
bearing its name. The rice mill has a spacious warehouse, operated by skilled and trusted
workers. Some of them have been in the business for decades now. It offers a number of
local varieties of rice and several imported varieties. They are striving to finally export
rice to another country.
Theoretical Framework
The procedure might be started either by demand pull or by cost-push yet it can't be kept
up except if different powers likewise work movement. The significant distinction
between the two speculations of the inflationary procedure fixates on the responsiveness
of both the cash wages and costs to change popular. The individuals who trust that there
is wage and value adaptability in the economy contend for demand pull inflation; on the
grounds that such adaptability renders it outlandish for any cost incited inflationary
pattern to support itself.
Then again, the individuals who trust that wages and costs are not adaptable accentuate
the cost-push hypothesis or inflation. Neither one of the approaches taken independent
from anyone else ought to be viewed as a totally tasteful clarification of the reason and
nature of inflation—both the methodologies are supplementary instead of aggressive (or
option) as clarifications of the reason for inflation. The adjoining Figures indicate
instances of mixed inflation.
b. Cost Push Inflation
The hypothesis of cost-push inflation wound up prevalent amid and after the Second
World War. This hypothesis keeps up that costs as opposed to being pulled-up by
abundant demand are additionally pushed-up because of an ascent in the cost of creation.
Under cost-push inflation costs ascend by virtue of an ascent in the cost of crude
materials, particularly compensation. The theory holds that the fundamental clarification
for inflation is the way that a few makers, gathering of specialists or both, prevail with
regards to raising the costs for either their item or administrations over the levels that
would win under more aggressive conditions.
As it were, inflationary weights begin with supply as opposed to demand and spread all
through the economy. Inflation of the cost-push compose begin in enterprises which are
generally gathered and in which merchants can practice significant prudence in the
detailing of the two costs and wages. Cost-push inflation may not be conceivable in an
economy described by unadulterated rivalry.
Since this inflation is because of the powers of cost and supply, it isn't liable to simple
treatment in light of the fact that financial and money related measures may fix a cost
inflation just to the detriment of expanding joblessness and slower development. That is
the reason many cost-push inflation specialists advocate alleviation instead of end of
inflation.
It is caused by the imposing business model components either in the work advertise
when there is wage-push or in the wares showcase when there is profit push yet for the
most part it is because of wage-push which builds the cost of generation and subsequently
costs. It has been watched as of late that in numerous nations guilds have turned out to be
intense so they can get wage increments relatively consistently significantly in abundance
of the general normal increment in yield per man-hour.
c. The Demand-Pull Inflation
The theory of interest pull inflation identifies with what might be known as the
conventional theory of inflation.
The embodiment of this theory is that inflation is caused by an over abundance of interest
(spending) with respect to the accessible supply of merchandise and enterprises at
existing costs.
As per classical's, the key factor is the cash supply on the grounds that as per the amount
theory of cash just an inflation in the cash supply is fit for raising the general value level.
In present day salary theory, be that as it may, demand pull is deciphered to mean an
abundance of total cash demand in respect to the economy's full business yield level. The
theory accept that costs for products and enterprises and in addition for monetary assets
are receptive to free market activity powers, and will, subsequently, moves promptly
upward under the weight of an abnormal state of total demand.
Business analysts like Friedman, Hawtrey, Golden Weiser, who see inflation as a simply
fiscal wonder, emphatically bolster this hypothesis of inflation caused by abundance cash
supply. The over abundance demand in the economy creates inferable from substantial
scale speculation use either in people in general or in the private segment, in this manner
surpassing the aggregate yield.
Because of this abundance demand, costs will rise and overabundance demand inflation
or demand pull inflation comes to exist. Therefore, we locate that as per this theory of
demand pull inflation, costs ascend in light of an overabundance of total demand over
existing supply of merchandise and ventures caused by an inflation in the amount of
cash—bringing about a fall of financing costs—expanding speculation uses and costs. Be
that as it may, demand pull inflation may likewise be caused without an inflation in cash
supply—when MEC or MPC goes up causing an Inflation in consumptions and
consequently costs. Since inflation is because of overabundance demand, it is viewed as
controllable by the demand lessening money related and financial arrangements.
Abundance demand approach is additionally created by Bent Hansen, Keynes, Wicksell
and Sweedish financial experts. Their view is that the general cost is dictated by the
aggregate interest for and add up to supply of products similarly as the cost of any great
is controlled by the powers of interest and supply for it.
General Problem
The researchers want to know the main factor affecting the post-production of
rice resulting to its low count. Post-production of rice is the main problem faced by rice
milling companies. Because of scarcity in the resources, the company have no choice but
to import rice from another country.
In the Philippines, politicians, news media, and even ordinary people often ask
why the country still imports rice despite the presence of IRRI and PhilRice. The
tendency to overstate the negative implications of research and the Philippines’ failure to
achieve rice self-sufficiency breeds cynicism on the part of policy makers and cast
shadows on policy support for rice R&D. To counter this growing doubt, it is important
to provide policy makers with some fresh insights into the impacts of rice R&D based on
precise analyses of recent data.
Specific Problem
Machineries/Technology
Technology is changing day by day. The technology adopted by the rice millers
here in this company is occupying more space, consuming more energy polluting air and
water and it is time consuming. As a whole the cost of production is high for the
technology. Some of the machineries are outdated or no longer use at all. Even a minor
problem can stop the processing of rice and affect the number of production.
There are times that some of the workers cannot execute their roles caused by
lack of motivation, sickness, misunderstandings, discipline and negligence resulting to
low production of the rice or not producing at all.
Power Outage
The loss of electric power greatly affects the production of rice because
machineries are powered by electricity.
Season
There are two seasons in the Philippines, rainy days and sunny days. The
production is good during sunny days (October-March). But the production is low during
rainy days (May-October).
Demand
High demand on rice greatly affects the count on production. For example, the
post-production of rice is in good number but compared to the public demand, it is low.
The scope of this study are the employees of TL3MJ Rice Mill Corporation
located at Golden City Business Park. The researchers doesn't requires any qualification
except the age of the respondents for the assurance that they know the current issue/s that
the survey will be tackling about. The researchers will interview only those people that
knows the system inside the rice mill corporation. It includes the secretaries, the laborers
and the classifiers. That's why we, the researchers, need the people who works for the rice
mill for atleast one year and above for the interview. Randomization is visible also in the
research, it doesn't matter if you are single or lady or man but the thing that only matters
is the experience at work. The researchers cannot guarantee the reliability of the outcome
of the interview for every person has different views and opinions. The interview that
will be happening in the near future is very important for the researchers to gather
information and get new ideas.
Significance of the Study
To Students
With the sudden change in our societal system it is undeniable that students
are affected too with the low post-production of rice. This study aims to broaden the
knowledge of the student about the situation so that they can adjust their needs and learn
how to adapt with this dilemma.
To Buyers
One of the major holder of the burden are the buyers. This research aims to give
alternative solution for the meantime and make them understand the situation. This aims
to find ways for them to lessen the burden they are facing.
To Workers
This might be essential for those who are working most for the rice mill
corporation especially for those who are sustaining their family. This research might help
them to cope up and find alternative solution so that it may not bring so much burden for
them. It is also essential for them to know the consequences of low production so that
they can prepare their selves facing this issue. This research also aims to inform them
what are the causes and precaution that the management was doing to increase the rate of
production.
Review of Related Literature and Studies

The drop of the share of the private sector in Vietnam’s GDP may result from
inadequate private-sector investment. Table 1.1 reveals that private-sector investment in
Vietnam made up a relatively small portion of total investment outlays compared to state-
sector investment. Moreover, this portion tends to decline. If private-sector investment
continues to be inadequate, Vietnam’s economy will remain dominated by inefficient
state-owned enterprises (SOEs). As a result, economic growth will be hampered. This
poses an important question: what is the cause the inadequacy of private-sector
investment in Vietnam?

The researchers asked the secretary of the rice mill if they can grace us little time and let
us conduct an interview about the rice mill’s history. Fortunately, they allowed us and
even let us record the interview and snap some shots of the rice mill.
The researchers conducted the interview on October 11, 2018 at their office inside the
rice mill at exactly 10 o’clock in the morning. The interview was recorded using voice
recorder in a smartphone. The researchers also took a picture while the interview is on the
process.
At an initial meeting, participants gave informed consent. The informants were then
informed that the researchers will be back the next day. Next, informants were given an
instruction that the researchers will be recording the process if they agreed and the
researchers reminded them that there is no “wrong” answer. These instructions, which the
researchers thoroughly explained we’re clarified before the start of the interview. The
researchers will interview the informants at their convenient time.
Informants were randomly picked. This design was used to control individual differences
in cognitive ability. The next day, researchers were informed of the time where and
where the informants are free. The time of the interview was ranging from 10:00 AM –
12:00 PM, it is a reasonable time for the employees dated October 11, 2018.
At their convenient time, informants arrived in front of the rice mill’s office (the location
was agreed by the management and informants) for the interview. Each participant was
given instructions, which were also clarified. The questions and materials had already
been prepared before the interview. So shortly after they arrived one by one, they
proceeded to answering the questions. Immediately after all informants had completed
the interview and their answers were recorded, participants were each given the
reassurance that the interview was solely for the purpose of the research. In addition, they
were told that their opinion will not be used against them and it will remain inclusive as it
can be. We then debriefed and dismissed each informant.
Data Analysis
The data collected from the field were analysed. The researchers interviewed twenty
people. Three people answered machinery as the main factor of low post-production of
rice. While five people answered man power failure, one person answered power outage,
nine people answered season and two people answered demand.

CHAPTER 3 - Findings and Discussions
The purpose of this study was to know the main factor affecting the post-
production according to the employees from a rice mill corporation. The researchers
made a list of the factors affecting the production while the informants will pick one and
explain the reason they picked the said factor. The majority of the informants don’t seem
to be bothered by outdated machineries saying that it can still be used appropriately.
While in regards to man power failure, the result is low for they say that they hire trusted
and responsible employees but it’s inevitable that there are some irresponsible workers.
The power outage is the lowest for there is no power outage if not for occasional
brownout like when there is maintenance on the electricity. Season has the highest vote
among the factors the researchers gave. According to the informants it greatly affects the
crop production in different ways. The delivered crops in the rice mill are sinking
drastically resulting to low post-production of rice. If a weather event that is fatal to crops
takes place during the crop growth period, an indicator of the impact of the fatal event
may be more relevant than that of growing-season mean climate to explain variations in
crop production in that year. When it comes to demand, it is low for the season affects the
crops greater than the demand (according to the informants).
CHAPTER 4 - Summary, Conclusions, and Recommendations
A. Summary of Results
The findings of the study are as follows:
1. What is the main factor affecting the post-production of rice in TL3MJ Rice Mill
Corporation?
1.1 Machineries
The informants were asked if machineries can be the main factor affecting
the post-production of rice. 15% of the informants answered machineries.
The informants were asked if man power failure can be the main factor affecting
the post-production of rice. 25 % of the informants answered machineries.
The informants were asked if power outage can be the main factor affecting the
post-production of rice. 5 % of the informants answered power outage.
1.4 Season
The informants were asked if season can be the main factor affecting the post-
production of rice. 45 % of the informants answered season.
1.5 Demand
The informants were asked if demand can be the main factor affecting the post-
production of rice. 10% of the informants answered demand.
B. Conclusions
In conclusion, the results of this study provide some fascinating
insights into the main factor affecting the post-production of rice. As we conduct the
interview, it turns out that the season is the main factor that affects the post-production of
rice .
Many people—students, working mothers, and those who are affected,
to mention most of us—have to deal with the shortage of the supply of rice,
intentional or unintentional. This research and other research to follow
will contribute to knowledge of the disadvantages—and possible
advantages—of shortage of rice. The mixed results of this study suggest
that we have much more to learn about the production of rice.
C. Recommendations
Construct an agreement with the farmers to sell the harvested crops to the rice mill first
for additional supplies. And the researchers want to suggest the purchasing of new
machines for an easier and faster processing of rice.
