1 METHODOLOGICAL ANNEX SOURCES OF INFORMATION AND METHODOLOGY FOR CALCULATION OF FTA IMPACT. Paddy Rice Domesic Prices wihou FTA: Price o producer of green paddy rice. Source FEDEARROZ (he Colombian rice growers federaion) Inernaional prices: Implici FOB expor prices from Unied Saes o he res of he world, for paddy rice in husk (subheading : Rice in he Husk). Source: Foreign Agriculural Service (FAS), Unied Saes Deparmen of Agriculure (USDA). Mariime Freigh: 25 USD per on from US por o Colombian por. Source: FENALCE (he Colombian naional federaion of cereal and legume growers) freighage used in formulas for pariy prices of cereal impors. Por charges: 8 USD per on for por services. Source: FENALCE, charges used in formulas for pariy prices for impor of grain in bulk. Domesic Freigh: Assuming ha he impored produc arrives in zones wih higher paricipaion in he milling indusry, he share of each rice producing zone in milling was calculaed. The daa on rice producion is obained from he rice growing census of 2007 (Censo Arrocero del Año 2007), produced by FEDEARROZ and DANE, o deermine he volume and share in producion of he rice producing zones. Based on consulaions wih expers he following assumpions were made: - All he Coasal zone producion of rice in husk is aken o mills in ha zone - 50% of he producion of he wo deparmens of Sanander (Sanander and Norh Sanander) is processed in he mills of Bucaramanga, and 50% is processed in hose of Cúcua. - 60% of he producion of he Easern plains is processed in he plains area, and 40% in Tolima (cenral zone). - All he producion of he cenral zone is processed in he cenral zone (principally Tolima). - The producion of he lower Cauca area is processed in Córdoba, in Monería and Sahagun. Thus, wih he weighing for producion, and based on he preceding supposiions, he paricipaion of each zone in milling is esablished. Finally, using he freigh cos per on esablished by he Colombian Minisry of Transpor for he year 2009 (Resolución 375 Augus 2008), he average Colombian freighage is calculaed, weighing he freighage from Buenavenura o Ibagué and he

2 Easern plains, and from Barranquilla o he wo deparmens of Sanander and he Alanic coas, by he paricipaion noed. Conversion facors: To ransform he inernaional dry paddy rice price o ha of green paddy rice, he following informaion is used: - The conversion facor for dry o green paddy rice is 84.6%. Tha is: o obain a on of dry paddy rice.8 ons of green paddy rice mus be aken o he mill. Source: double discoun able. - The presen cos of drying and cleaning a he rice mills in Colombia is 40,000 COP per on on average. Source: consulaion wih rice millers of Mea. Domesic prices wih he FTA: I is assumed ha he price wih he FTA will be equal o he ariff free cos of imporing from he Unied Saes, applying he following formula.

Supply Funcion: The following models were used o evaluae he response in supply of paddy rice o variaions in he price o producers. These enable he calculaion of he annual volume of producion (Q ), he area culivaed (A ), from he price paid o producers in he previous year (P - ), he area culivaed in he previous year (A - ), and he producion of he previous year (Q - ).

Domesic Freigh: The daa of he chamber of balanced feeds of he Naional Business Associaion of Colombia ANDI, was used o esablish he naional disribuion of producion of balanced feeds as a proxy for he demand in raw maerials for hese, maize being he main impored raw maerial. The average domesic freighage is calculaed using he freigh cos per on esablished by he Colombian Minisry of Transpor for he year 2009 (Resolución 375 of Augus 2008), weighing he freigh coss from Buenavenura o Bogoá, Medellin and Cali, and from Barranquilla o Bucaramanga and he Alanic Coas region by he paricipaion of hese ceners. Domesic Prices wih he FTA: The price wih he FTA is assumed o be equal o he duy free cos of imporing from he Unied Saes, applying he following formula: PTLC ( PCIF GP) Where P CIF is he CIF reference price from he Unied Saes, GP is por charges, is he represenaive marke exchange rae, and is domesic freighage. Supply Funcion: The following models were used o evaluae he response in he supply of yellow maize o variaions in prices o he producer. These enable he calculaion of he annual volume of producion (Q ), he area culivaed (A ), from he price paid o producers in he previous year (P - ), he area culivaed in he previous year (A - ), he producion of he previous year (Q - ), a variable dummy (D ) which akes he value from he year 970 o 986 and 0 in he remaining years, and anoher variable dummy (D 998 ), ha akes he value of in he year 998 and 0 in oher years.

Domesic Freigh: I was assumed ha he impored produc would arrive a Bogoá and Medellin, 50% a each of hese ciies. Medellin was chosen because he greaer par of he milling indusry for he manufacure of cornmeal rolls (arepas) is here. I is also he ciy of reference for he formaion of he domesic price. The principal indusries of maize and oher derivaes, for example precooked maize flour, are in Bogoá. The average domesic freigh coss are calculaed using he freighage per on esablished by he Colombian Minisry of Transpor for he year 2009 (Resolución 375 of Augus 2008), weighing he freighage from he por of Buenavenura o Bogoá and Medellín by he paricipaion noed above.

Domesic Freigh: I is assumed ha he impored produc would arrive a he milling cener neares o he producion zone. Thus he producion of he Cundinamarca - Boyacá Savannah, accouning for 20% of naional whea producion, is milled in Bogoá, while he producion of Nariño, accouning for 80% naionally, is milled in Cali. The average domesic freigh coss are calculaed using he freigh cos per on esablished by he Colombian Minisry of Transpor for he year 2009 (Resolución 375 of Augus 2008), weighing he freigh coss from he por of Buenavenura o Bogoá and Cali by he paricipaion noed above.

Qualiy Adjusmen Facor: aking ino accoun he fac ha dry domesic whea normally has a humidiy of 5% and 3% of impuriies, while impored whea arrives a he mills wih 3% humidiy and % of impuriies, a qualiy adjusmen facor of 4% is applied for domesic whea (2% for humidiy and 2% for impuriies). Domesic Prices wih he FTA: The price wih he FTA is assumed o be equal o he duy free cos of imporing from he Unied Saes, applying he following formula: P ( P GP) ZP ( FAC) TLC CIF Where P CIF is he CIF reference price from he Unied Saes, GP is por charges, is he represenaive marke exchange rae, is domesic freighage from he por o he consumer zone, FZP is domesic freighage from he producion zone o he consumer zone, and FAC is he qualiy adjusmen facor. 6
