A lawmaker has renewed his call for the passage of a measure that will allow the government to buy rice from farmers at P5 to 10 more per kilo than farm gate prices amid the looming reduction of tariff for imported rice.AGRI Party-list Representative Wilbert Lee was referring to his proposed House Bill No. 9020 or Cheaper Rice Act , saying the higher cost will ensure an increase in local farmers’ income while consumers will eventually enjoy lower rice prices in the market.
Maria, Bocaue, Pandi, Meycauayan, Guiguinto, Malolos, Plaridel and Calumpit, Lee observed that one of the main concerns of farmers is the lack of post-harvest facilities.The solon said the situation could also be addressed by his other proposals, such as House Bill 3958 or the Post-Harvest Facilities Support Act and House Bill 3957 or the Kadiwa Agri-Food Terminal Act.
