Philippine Rice
Situation
Rice has the foremost political & economic
significance in the country
For the past five (5) years, paddy production registered an average growth of 1.89% or equivalent to roughly 16,714 TMT per annum
Attributed mainly to improvement in country’s productivity and area harvested to paddy at an average of 0.52% and 1.32%,
respectively
75% of the increase in production came from irrigated areas while only 25% from non-irrigated areas

Total food usage for 2008-2012 averaged at 12,498 TMT which shows that the 10,864 TMT average production could not really
keep up with the demand
Importation of an average of 1,672 TMT per year is imperative

Key Challenges in
Attaining Self-Sufficiency
A) GEOGRAPHICAL SETTING
Total land area of 30 M. Has. is mainly
mountainous with extensive coastal lowlands.
only about 47% is agricultural land
About 33% or 4.759 M. Ha. is devoted to rice
production
3.252 M. Ha. is irrigated & 1.507 M. Ha. is rainfed
There are few large plains or navigable rivers
The country feeds about twenty one (21) persons
per hectare of area harvested to rice
The islands are volcanic in nature, being part of
Pacific Ring of Fire, and are mostly mountainous
Has a tropical wet climate dominated by rainy/wet
season (May to October) and a dry season
(November to April)
Sit astride the typhoon belt and is visited by an
average of 22 typhoons per year

Population Count Total Food Requirement Per Capita Consumption
C) MEETING THE INCREASING DEMAND
Population, Total Food Requirement and Per Capita Consumption are generally on the uptrend with an average annual increase posted at 2.07%,
3.19% and 1.23% respectively
D) PRODUCING MORE WITH LESS
To ease the pressure of feeding a growing population, the
primary challenge is to produce more output per unit of input
through the promotion of:
E) SETTING-UP OF INVESTMENTS
IN PUBLIC GOODS
To maximize yields, other equally important ways to boost
production includes:
Government’s Strategies in
Meeting the Challenges of
Food Security
• Provide rice to a calamity-stricken
area within 48-hours response time
FOOD SECURITY in staple cereals in times and places of natural or man-made calamity/emergency
SUPPLY AND PRICE
STABIZATION
• Stable supply of rice in the
market
• Retail prices at reasonable
levels for consumers
• Farm-gate prices that
enables farmers to get a fair
return on their investment
• Restore or maintain for 2 weeks
the price of rice at levels
immediately prior to the calamity
In general, the NFA performs its mandate
thru the following marketing activities:
A regional cooperation scheme among ASEAN countries, China, Japan and
Republic of Korea (ASEAN Plus Three) which is aimed at strengthening food
security and reducing poverty in East Asia.
Total Earmarked rice stocks to the APTERR is placed at 787,000 MT comprising
of the following:
ASEAN Countries Plus Three Countries
Indonesia - 12,000 MT China - 300,000 MT
Brunei - 3,000 MT Japan - 250,000 MT
Malaysia - 6,000 MT Rep. of Korea - 150,000 MT

Philippines - 12,000 MT

Philippines’ Rice
Export Potential
The government is hopeful that the envisioned self-sufficiency in
rice will be realized in one (1) to two (2) years time. Beyond 2013,
the aim is to strengthen national resilience in staples production to
impacts of climate change.
If the 2013 rice production target will be attained, the country may
well be self-sufficient. Production surpluses are projected beyond
2013 and such may have potential for the export market.
The Department of Agriculture is initially embarking in the
exportation of organically grown, aromatic, colored, heirloom or
traditional rice varieties in limited volume.
The country has already exported a total of 106.55 MT of premium
and organic black rice varieties to the following countries:
Singapore - 45 MT
Dubai - 35 MT
Kuwait & Hong Kong - 15 MT
Germany, Hong Kong, - 11.55 MT
Canada & Netherlands
