Rice imports reached 1.457 million metric tons in the first seven months of the year, data from the Bureau of Plant Industry showed.
This is slightly lower than the 1.491 million MT reported in the same period last year, which includes those that arrived prior to the implementation of the Rice Tariffication Law in March.Imports were from China, India, Myanmar, Pakistan, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam. About 47,896 MT came from Thailand alone, BPI reported.
In 2019, total rice imports reached 2.9 million MT as the government removed relaxed restrictions on rice imports, while requiring a 35-percent tariff on Southeast Asian grain.Agriculture Secretary William Dar told CNN Philippines that for this year, “imports will still come but not as high as last year.” He added that they are expecting around 2 million MT of rice to come in, which is “more than enough.
As for the coming months, Rolando Dy, executive director of the Center for Food and Agribusiness of the University of Asia and the Pacific, said “with expected good harvests, imports will be moderated.” Philippine Institute for Development Studies Roehlano Briones also expects weaker imports even on lean months, which last from July to September, due to the high price in the world market and enough local supply due to subdued demand.

Duque didn’t import COVID-19 but failed miserably to curb its spread – LacsonWhile Health Secretary Francisco Duque III did not import COVID-19 to the Philippines, he “miserably failed” to stop the spread of the virus, Senator Panfilo Lacson. | CMRamosINQ CMRamosINQ Duque also facilitated the entry of Covid by vacillating on the Chinese travel ban. CMRamosINQ We just can't say Duque miserably failed when INUTILDUTERTE keeps defending him. The reality is plainer than that. Im pretty sure Duque would have acted more a doctor if he isn't controlled by a China-PUPPET. CMRamosINQ Sen Lacson should not blame Sec Duque/DOH, IAFT is collective body more militaristic than medical oriented aggravated by the President and senators who discouraged instead of supporting our healthcare workers!rightthewrong
