Five senators on Wednesday filed a resolution urging Malacañang to withdraw Executive Order 135 which reduces the rice tariff from 40%-50% to 35% for one year.
Under Senate Resolution 726,  Minority Leader Franklin Drilon, Senators Nancy Binay, Leila de Lima, Risa Hontiveros, and Francis Pangilinan said there is “no reasonable and sufficient basis to reduce the tariff rates on rice and it will only cause more burden to our local rice farmers, further increase our import dependency, and cost the government millions in foregone revenues.” ....

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.”

“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. ....
