PRESIDENT Ferdinand “Bongbong” R. Marcos Jr. is now eyeing to use the new technologies from the International Rice Research Institute to boost the country’s rice production.
“It’s up to us now in the Philippine government to make sure those technologies, those products, go down to the grassroots,” Marcos said.During his tour around the IRRI facility, Marcos was briefed about direct seeding of rice—the process of putting up a rice crop from seeds sown in the field, which is expected to improve crop resilience and reduce labor cost, water use and greenhouse emissions.
“A good result of this visit is we were able to see the new technologies that are completely appropriate in the Philippine setting,” Marcos said. “Actually, I have a schedule—I have a timetable for that. There are certain things that I would like to achieve before leaving the department. So we have yet to achieve those,” Marcos said.
