Agriculture Secretary Pinol also said that the law will not only increase rice
production, but will also lower
post harvest loss by 16{affa41581c539e77a889a6a46af960df9ff1c7424670374343af90ba11e244ac} since mechanization will be used in
farming activity.
This 2019,
government has allocated P3-B for
purchase of high yielding seeds developed by IRRI at PhilRice which will be given to farmers in hopes that this will give an increase of 2-metric tons yield for every 1-million hectares in the first year of implementation of the program.
Also, a credit facility of P1-B is allotted to farmers for loans to buy fertilizers and other farm inputs while another P1-B will be for technical skills training to improve farming
technology.
The secretary stated this information in the middle of the disinformation campaign against the purpose of the Rice
Tarrification Act.
