It reiterated that domestic rough rice output is forecast to hit more than 20 million metric tons this year compared with 19.76 million metric tons in 2022. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Southeast Asian country currently has a rice surplus of 2.98 million metric tons, or enough to last 80 days and more imports would stretch supply through the next harvest season, the agency said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marcos imposed a month-long cap on domestic rice prices in September following a spike in the cost of the national staple which he blamed on hoarding and smuggling, and which pushed Philippine rice inflation to a 14-year high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a92023 Bloomberg L.P.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Harvested rice paddy in Banaue, Ifugao province, the Philippines, on Saturday, Nov. 4, 2023.
