Two days ago, I was in Isabela, one of the places in the Philippines where there is plenty of rice. However, people were lining up for cheaper NFA rice.
These are some issues to be tackled in this blog?
1. Why should rice prices be high in a province that produces rice
2. Why do we have to import rice when:
MIndoro, Iloilo, Mindanao, Isabela, Nueva Ecija, Cagayan, Isabela produce rice. Well we have typhoons but nevertheless we can overcome this if we have planning of areas in the Phil that are not hit by typhoon
