Case Study: Introduction and Literature Review
The Sugar Industry in the Philippines is a large factor that affects the nation.
The government needs to locate a plan to maintain the production in our
sugar industry in order to achieve sustainable development, not only
economically, but also on the whole entire aspects of our country.

meaning it provides hundreds of thousands of job opportunities for those in
need and increases the economic stature of our country. Completely losing
control of this sector due to the decrease in production will hinder the
advancements of our country and halt it from achieving over-all development.
3) What is currently known about the problem? Do not forget to provide in-
text citation of your sources. (15 points)
The Sugar Sector is more than just creating Sugarcanes and foods for
export. This Sector provides opportunities for the workers; this sector also
provides us with foods that is a necessity in our everyday lives that also
contributes various health benefits for people int the country. Since the Sugar
Sector dates to even before the colonization of the Philippines, it has been a
tradition and a well-guarded sector in the Philippines. By conducting this study,
we are not only shedding light onto the various effect of the decrease in sugar
production, but we are also giving hope for the future that awaits all of us. By
upkeeping the sugar production and maintaining the wealth and security of
the Sugar Sector, we can possibly be one of the major producers of sugar
internationally which not only helps the traders, but also the economy of the
whole nation.

extraordinarily wealthy and the impoverished, and the nation's dependence
on the international market are described, using the case of the 2 most
important sugar producing regions, Negros Occidental and Pampanga. The
World Bank classifies the industry's export revenues as "stagnant" for the time
being, with little hope of a turnaround. More restricted output and
mechanization will significantly shrink the labor force, perpetuating the bad
working conditions that have existed since 1975. Only some other endeavor
will help the Philippine economy and the lives of millions of Filipinos.

production increases as a result. Some of these sectors include the
manufacturing of milk processing, cocoa chocolate, ice cream and animal
feeds. The dynamic effects of the reduction in sugar tariffs on these sectors
indicate that their growth continues to accelerate even after the reduction in
output of sugarcane and sugar milling sectors stabilizes.
