Modern technology - a combination of modern varieties, increased use of fertilizer and irrigation development - has contributed substantially to increased rice productivity in South and Southeast Asia. However, there has been less consensus whether this technology has increased or decreased production variability. The authors report about a macro-analysis of changes in rice production stability between the period preceding the advent of modern varieties and the period following their release in the Philippines, and contrast these results with a comparable analysis of rice production in India.
