      abstract = {Farming in the rainfed lowlands of northwest Luzon,  Philippines, is highly intensive, diversified, and  commercialised. The cropping-system is predominantly  rice-based in the wet season and high-value cash crops are  grown during the dry season. Using panel data from 100  randomly selected farmers, a stochastic input distance  function is used to investigate scope economies in this  environment. Results show that significant scope economies  exist between rice and the major dry-season crops of garlic  and mungbean. Scope diseconomies exist between rice and  maize.},
