Abstract

Financial, market, emotional, food security, and livelihood issues were the five elements of the study's analysis of the socioeconomic effects of the rice crisis in Rosales, Pangasinan. The findings showed that most of the burden was financial pressure, especially income reduction, and that market price volatility further reduced farmers' negotiating leverage and increased earnings uncertainty. Emotional difficulties decreased resilience and productivity and were mostly associated with debt accumulation and repayment obligations. Despite receiving a lower rating, food inadequacy brought attention to dietary quality tradeoffs and emphasized the significance of variety for household survival. In contrast to urban regions, livelihood disturbances revealed systemic vulnerabilities in rural communities, such as migratory pressures and uneven effects. The results show that the rice crisis is a complex socioeconomic issue that destabilizes farmers in a number of ways rather than being a single economic disruption. To increase resilience and guarantee the sustainability of rice farming communities in Rosales, Pangasinan, the conclusion highlights the critical need for integrated interventions, including price stabilization, easily accessible credit, livelihood diversification, food security programs, and rural development initiatives.
