We can feel that\u2026 We can say that we are able to feed, at least we have enough harvested rice,\u201d he said, adding that other necessary niche products will account for the remaining 2.5 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou do not have to really go to 100 percent because the three percent is for \u2018niche products\u2019, the organic, special grain, Japanese rice and the like,\u201d the Chief Executive said.&nbsp;\u201cWe do not need to provide that. But with 97 percent, we can say that we can feed all our countrymen with enough rice supply.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The PCO said the Masagana Rice Industry Development Program is designed \u201cto support rice farmers, increase rice production, and strengthen the rice value chain.\u201d It will be carried out through several strategies like climate change adaptation, farm clustering and consolidation, value chain approach and digital transformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its name is similar to that of Masagana 99, a 1973 program that sought to address rice shortage and boost production. According to experts, Masagana \u201999 was able to address the rice shortage but was dogged by credit program issues. The program was discontinued in 1984.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marcos also&nbsp;enumerated various measures to boost agricultural production and assist the farming sector during the meeting. Through convergence, assets, resources, funding and technology could be made readily available to farmers, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe importance of consolidation is key. That really is the first step. We cannot do all of the other things that we want to do until we organize our farmers,\u201d the President said, noting that mechanization, the adoption of new farming technologies and digitalization would be helpful to farmers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MANILA, Philippines \u2014 President Marcos aims to achieve 97.5 percent rice sufficiency in five years through a program that bears the name of an agriculture initiative launched during the time of his late father and namesake.
