Many of our brethren are focussing attention on rice variety, rice technology etc. rice post harvest facility. Rather than investing efforts on substitute for rice.
This post saw that in US farmers are raising potatoes and sweet potatoes and invsest millions on farm equipmetn for this.
Rice requires a lot for its cultivation: dams, irrigation system, plowing and seedling preparation, frtilizer, and harvest facilities, drying faclities and rice mlling and packaging.
Why not raise sweet potatoes (kamote)? May be it may not mean money for poeple in govt or big time cartel businessmen. But sweet potato farming require little land and may be even feasible in urban gardens, and does not require much water and dams.
Why not go into this big time?
