Pangilinan says proposed agricultural industry road map should be carefully studied

Opposition Senator Francis N. Pangilinan said on Saturday the government’s proposed industry road map to make 23 provinces shift from planting rice to other crops and hog-raising should be carefully studied.The road map proposed 23 non-priority rice provinces would be transitioned to various commodities and industries, such as abaca, banana, cassava, cattle, coconut, high-value vegetables, livestock, poultry, and rubber.

Pangilinan said policymakers must be able to understand this concept, especially in its thrust to strengthen local production for food security and self-sufficiency.
