Averting PH rice crisis

Federation of Free Farmers (FFF) chairman and former agriculture secretary, Leonardo Montemayor said at least 700,000 metric tons (MT) need to be imported to meet the country's demand for rice. Based on data from the Department of Agriculture, 300,000 MT are expected to come between August and September, which is still 'not enough' to cover the 21-day gap before the next harvest between October and November.
