Sec Proceso Alcala said before the Congress budget hearing that Phil is now 96% self sufficient and hopes to achieve 98% by the end of 2014. He regrets that we were able to reach only 96% and not the goal of 100% in 2013 because of typhoon Yolanda.
The sufficiency rose from 82% to 96% in three years which is an achievement. In 2014, he said rice harvest was at 18 t million metric tons which is the highest so far.
