Despite the heavy damage brought about by Super Typhoon EgayPH, President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. on Tuesday, Aug. 1, assured that there is enough buffer stock of rice, the Philippines’ staple grain.
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. presides over a sectoral meeting with agriculture officials on Tuesday, Aug. 1, in Malacañang to discuss strategies to ensure sufficient rice supply.
Marcos also shared that sufficiency of “agricultural inputs” is being ascertained to ensure that the price of rice in the market will not increase in the aftermath of the typhoon. Meanwhile, also part of the discussions with DA officials is the agency’s preparedness for the El Niño phenomenon. Earlier, the President shared that the country might negotiate with India since there is tough competition among neighboring countries for the supply of rice.
