Grace Poe, while the Philippines only imported 10,045 MT of the grain from India last year, compared to the 3.6 million MT from Vietnam, the ban could bring prices to a record high all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She said the Philippines is not excluded from the \u201ccollateral impact\u201d of the decision made by India on July 20, pointing out that \u201cthe decline in global supply from the biggest rice exporter is expected to cause a spike in global rice prices because of speculation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Poe, non-basmati white rice accounts for over 80 percent of India\u2019s total rice exports: \u201cThis means that in one fell swoop, India has created a 17.86 million MT shortage in the global rice market,\u201d said the senator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThose who will fill that gap can certainly charge a premium,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Poe stressed that Vietnam, which was the source of close to 90 percent of rice brought into the Philippines last year, already increased its price to $600\/metric ton from the previous $500\/metric ton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No less than the International Monetary Fund has pointed out that India\u2019s move could accelerate inflation in food prices, like the effect of the suspension of the Black Sea export deal for Ukraine\u2019s grain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As reported by CNBC based on an analysis by Barclays, a universal bank based in London, the \u201cPhilippines would be the \u2018most exposed to a rise in global rice prices,\u2019 given how the weighting of rice is highest in the country\u2019s CPI basket\u201d. CPI refers to consumer price index.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Filipinos, Poe said, consume 118.81 kilos or two sacks of rice each on the average a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Import-dependent<\/strong><br>Despite Marcos\u2019 statement, though, that the Philippines will only import rice if local supply is not enough, the DA had said they will proceed with the schedule for the importation of 1.3 million MT of the grain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/asianews.network\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMPORT-DEPENDENT.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"1148\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asianews.network\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMPORT-DEPENDENT.jpeg 900w, https:\/\/asianews.network\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMPORT-DEPENDENT-235x300.jpeg 235w, https:\/\/asianews.network\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMPORT-DEPENDENT-803x1024.jpeg 803w, https:\/\/asianews.network\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMPORT-DEPENDENT-768x980.jpeg 768w\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-109226\">GRAPHIC Ed Lustan<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This, as it stated that \u201cwe have already something like 1.3 million metric tons volume of applications that are already pending there,\u201d pointing out that its process in giving out \u201csanitary and phytosanitary permits\u201d takes time, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rep. Arlene Brosas (Gabriela), however, asked Marcos to \u201cveer away from his proposed government-to-government importation of rice and instead focus on strengthening our local rice industry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to data from DA\u2019s Bureau of Plant Industry, the Philippines imported 2.77 million MT in 2021, 3.8 million MT in 2022, and 1.3 million MT in May since the start of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next year, the US Department of Agriculture said, the Philippines is expected to import more grain, especially in light of the projected increase in demand, saying that the level could reach 3.8 million MT in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As pointed out by DA spokesperson Rex Estoperez, under the Rice Tariffication Act (RTA), which was signed into law in 2019, only the President has the authority to call for the importation of rice in case of emergency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The RTA, which then President Rodrigo Duterte signed into law in 2019, reduced the National Food Authority\u2019s (NFA) role to one that maintains a 15 to 30 days buffer stock of rice from palay bought from local producers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking back, the law, which is being opposed by farmers, replaced quantitative, or volume, restrictions on imported rice with tariffs of 35 to 40 percent, and reduced the role of the NFA from main buyer to one that maintains a 15 to 30 days buffer stock of rice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to data from the DA, with the projected palay output of 5.47 million MT in the third quarter of 2023 and demand expected to reach 3.79 million MT, ending stock is seen at 1.69 million MT, which is enough to last 45 days at current levels of consumption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Albay Rep. Joey Salceda stressed in April that 45 days is lower than the ideal 90 days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>El Ni\u00f1o and the damage left by Typhoon Egay have become a key concern of President Marcos, who said the Philippines would have to import rice again.
