Philippines: Philippine Government Launches Plant Plant Plant Program
The Philippine Department of Agriculture will be implementing a P31 billion ($608 million) ‘Plant, Plant, Plant Program’ to enhance food security concerns amidst the country's coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak. The Program aims to raise paddy production to 22.1 million tons (13.5 million tons milled rice), which would be 93 percent of the country’s total demand of 14.5 million tons. Parallel to the Program is the Philippine government’s plan to import 300,000 tons of rice through a government-to-government purchase arrangement.
