RICE
The importation of rice increased, reaching an
unprecedented 2.470 Million metric tons. President
Benigno Aquino III in his 2010 SONA called out the
NFA for its ballooning debt and lack of foresight,
which had ultimately resulted in bloated warehouses
full of stocks of rice on the brink of waste.
Agriculture Secretary Proceso J. Alcala said the country would import an initial 500,000
metric tons (MT) of rice in 2012. The decision was arrived at during the December 6, 2011
meeting of the National Food Authority (NFA) Council. The NFA will concentrate on local
palay procurement, as it has adequate rice and palay stocks in its warehouses.
The country managed to import a total of 860,000
MT, which is one-third of the 2.4 million MT
imported in 2010.
Regarding the alleged over-importation of 900,000 MT in 2004 and 1.921
million MT in 2007, DA-NFA noted that although rice imported in those periods
ended up stocked in warehouses for almost 2 years, it is still considered fit for
human consumption.
