We employ a partial equi librium model and find modest gains in consumer surplus from an increase in head rice and reduction inchalkiness.The resultsprovideevidenceofmarket sorting,whichshouldbe taken into consideration in upgrading rice value chains. Also, it is important to assess poten tial gains from quality improvement to determine priorities for research and development.
