[Title] => Mitra clarifies report on rice importation
[Summary] => Opposition Rep. Abraham Mitra (LDP, Palawan) clarified yesterday a report attributed to him on rice importation and smuggling.
Mitra said he wanted to find out the reasons why the government has allowed the bringing in of a total of 890,000 tons of imported rice when the original level was only 500,000 tons.
He said no less than President Arroyo and Agriculture Secretary Leonardo Montemayor assured Filipino farmers in March this year that the importation would only be 390,000 tons.

[Title] => Tobacco growers turn to rice farming
[Summary] => VIGAN CITY – Don’t look now but tobacco farmers are into rice growing too. And from the looks of it, they have almost doubled the average yield per hectare of the country’s traditional rice farmers!
Records at the National Tobacco Administration (NTA) showed that rice tobacco farmers posted an average of 5.7 tons per hectare last year surpassing the national average rice yield of 2.9 tons a hectare.

[Title] => Food exporters press demand for sugar quota
[Summary] => If meat processors and corn users such as hog raisers and feed millers are allowed to import under the minimum access volume (MAV) program of the government, why are industrial users of sugar such as food processors and food manufacturers, not given the same privilege?
This is the question bugging the members of the Philippine Food Processors and Exporters Organization (Philfoodex) who said such "discrimination" has an adverse effect on hundreds of food manufacturers and food processors who depend on the supply of low-cost sugar to sustain their operation.
