Comprehensive industry database needed to improve food production

BusinessWorld May 17, 2021 | 8:06 pm JCOMP / FREEPIK THE PHILIPPINES needs to develop a comprehensive farming-industry database to improve food production and GUIDE policy decisions, food advocacy group Tugon Kabuhayan said. Tugon Kabuhayan co-convener Norberto O. Chingcuanco said in a virtual briefing Monday that especially for fisheries production, the government needs to compile updated information on volume and value of production in ponds, cages, and other areas where the commodities are located. “Reliable data will guide us what and when to produce and help us evaluate whether imports are indeed necessary for a certain commodity and season,” Mr. Chingcuanco said. He said food production can be improved by reducing the agriculture sector’s postharvest losses, noting that around 25% is usually lost in the supply chain.

PH food producers are facing the worst crisis in years, says farmer group

Published May 14, 2021, 3:40 PM The country’s food producers – farmers, fishermen, and livestock raisers – are now facing the worst crisis in years. This was declared by United Broiler Raisers’ Association (UBRA) President Bong Inciong during the Farmers and Fisherfolks Congress on Friday. According to Inciong, the country’s food producers are now experiencing the worst crisis in years amid the pandemic due to several factors, such as “decades of government neglect, the prevalence of COVID-19 pandemic, and pro-importation policies of the government.” (MB file, Keith Bacongco) “We are now paying the price for the long-term neglect of the sector. The economy and our people would not be as badly hit if agri-fisheries were in a better place [prior to the pandemic],” Inciong said.
