MANILA - The signing of the Rice Tariffication Law has made things worse for the country’s farmers, one of the poorest sectors, Sen. Francis Pangilinan said Tuesday.

Pangilinan said the law, signed by President Rodrigo Duterte in February this year to address rice supply shortage and soaring inflation, is slowly killing the local farming industry after imported rice flooded the market.

Pangilinan said the P10 billion Rice Competitiveness Enhancement Fund provided by the law is not enough. And since imported rice have flooded the market, there is now little incentive for Filipino farmers to continue with their work. “This can create social and political problems. We are proposing solutions because criticisms are not going to work and will not help our farmers.”
