Gender Dynamics in The Palay and Corn Production Project of MMSU

Gender role has always been overlooked of its importance, hence, this study was conducted to examine the participation of those handling the projects for the last 5 years from laborers to the chief or director in the agribusiness. In here, we determined the profile of those involved in the production activities in terms of education and experience; sought to determine who are more involved in this production activities; what specific role they do in this specific project; who does what and who is more vulnerable in the implementation of this project; and, aimed to determine the extent of the gender role in the activity. Qualitative and quantitative research was used. The study was conducted using a one-group after treatment survey research design. It involved investigation of the Agribusiness under production system with reference to the data that were gathered previous years before 2017. A descriptive statistic was used such as frequency counts, percentages and means to treat all the data collected. The independent variables were grouped into each activity of the project and the dependent variables were the gender role.
