Abstract: In this research, I endeavor to understand the economic and environmental perceptions of upland farmers in the context of biofuels and natural rubber production regimes in Palawan. I also endeavor to understand how these economic and environmental perceptions explain the behavioral intents of upland farmers, especially regarding intensification of production and cooperation in such partnership regimes. Research findings are drawn from seven months of field research in Metro Manila and Palawan, which included surveys, in-depth interviews, participant observations and acquisition of secondary materials. Quantitative data were statistically analyzed and modeled using non-parametric logistic regression models.On the other hand, qualitative data were analyzed by coding transcripts and field notes and identifying emergent themes. Theoretically, this research endeavors to contribute to the scholarship on contract farming and the Institutional Analysis and Development (IAD) framework.
