Addressing the food crisis, increasing rice and corn production, mulling the opportunities in RCEP and the impact of the rice tariffication law are in Marcos' to-do list.
MANILA, Philippines – A man who promised to lower the price of rice to P20 per kilogram held his first meeting as concurrentPresident Ferdinand Marcos Jr. arrived at the Bureau of Soils and Water Management in Quezon City on Monday morning to meet with the department’s employees and officials who, for the first time, will have the country’s Chief Executive as their department head.
“We have to attend to the impending food crisis that it seems it will be visiting us in the next two quarters. When we look around the world, everyone is preparing for it. We are already at disadvantageous position in terms of food supply,” he told the room. More vague was Marcos’ directive to “increase protection of rice and corn.” The four-minute video of the meeting released to the public was just a portion of the meeting and did not include remarks made by other officials.
The President asked for a “short memo” on the “pros and cons” of ratifying the trade deal that would further open up the Philippine economy to imported goods but could also mean greater access of Philippine goods to markets abroad.Apart from addressing immediate concerns, Marcos also spoke of long-term initiatives like crafting a “multi-year plan” to reconstruct value chains of agricultural commodities.
While Marcos said the DA should not shy away from crafting plans up to year 2030 because six years may not be enough, he pedaled back to give assurances that “we can do this in less than six years.”
