Duterte gov’t faces early test over food security; rice policy in focus

Posted on May 26, 2016 11:00:00 PM WHILE Philippine elections this month were dominated by talk about crushing crime, the next president faces another critical early test: ensuring there is enough rice for the country’s more than 100 million people. The Philippine crop is suffering mounting drought damage, just as the country’s big Asian rice suppliers also suffer from an El Niño weather pattern. In a country where rice accounts for about a quarter of the expenditure of the poor, any supply disruptions are extremely sensitive. Big purchases by the world’s third-biggest importer can also send shockwaves through markets. There are now concerns that potentially vital imports may be delayed as the incoming administration of Rodrigo R. Duterte, who campaigned on making food available and affordable, looks to overhaul policies and review existing state purchase plans. “Now is the right time to import as prices are starting to trend up,” said Bruce J. Tolentino, deputy director gene

Based on the latest crops outlook of the Philippine Statistics Authority, palay production is expected to drop by 6.5 percent to 3.83 million metric tons (MT) in April to June. This as harvest area is seen to contract by three percent to 905,560 hectares from 932,790 hectares. Yield per hectare may also decrease to 4.22 MT from 4.38 MT a year ago. About 63.9 percent of the updated standing crop of more than 900,000 hectares had already been harvested.

Rice imports this year seen reaching 3 MMT

By Jasper Y. Arcalas - June 13, 2019 Sacks of imported rice are delivered to a rice seller at San Andres district in Manila on Wednesday. Philippine rice imports are expected to reach a record-high of 3 million metric tons this year, according to the US Department of Agriculture. PHILIPPINE rice imports this year will rise by 20 percent to a record high of 3 million metric tons (MMT), making the country one of the world’s top buyers of the staple, according to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). The USDA said purchases for imports went up after the government removed the quantitative restriction (QR) on rice with the implementation of Republic Act (RA) 11203, or the rice trade liberalization law. On March 5 the government, through RA 11203, liberalized the country’s rice trade by removing the QR on the staple and limiting the role of the National Food Authority to buffer stocking. In its monthly global grains situation report, the USDA said
