PRESIDENT Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos Jr. gave assurances that the country has sufficient rice supply but admitted that the gaps in distribution disrupt market availability and supply and therefore must be resolved by the government.
'There are still many things lacking when it comes to distribution,' he said during a rice distribution event he spearheaded in Iriga City over the weekend. 'We have enough rice, it's just that the supply is not distributed correctly. Supply is not a problem here in the Philippines.
'The President added that rice production increased this year but the government has to improve the system.'We need to fix the system from research and development to planting, processing, distribution, marketing, up to retail,' he said.Marcos said the government has started implementing reforms whose effects may soon be felt by the public.
