Negros Oriental Representative Arnolfo Teves Jr. has asked the Marcos administration to allocate P1 billion budget for farm-to-market roads per agricultural district, saying this will bring down cost of food production and help farmers.

"Ito ang hiling ko, P1 billion per agricultural district. Mas magiging mabilis at mura ang production cost. Alam ko, kayang-kaya ito ng ating gobyerno. Every year, ang appropriation is always over P200 billion," Teves said in a speech before the plenary session.

"Meron tayong 300 na congressman, more or less. I think iyong agricultural district, ang estimate ko, mga 150...pagpalagay mo na 200. P150 to P250 billion pesos in allocation. Kung iyong unused appropriation ay pinagawa natin ng daan, eh di ang dami na nating natulungan, iyong farmers, iyong consumers kasi we will have cheap production cost and cheaper in the market," Teves added.

In addition, Teves said that all common land areas should be converted to upland rice areas to increase rice production. "If we will have common land areas converted to upland rice areas, we will have rice sufficiency. Upland rice is half the production cost compared with paddy rice areas, Kung gusto namin maging P20 per kilo ang presyo ng bigas, we should go upland," Teves said.

"Totoo na kalahati lang ang production ng upland rice area sa paddy rice, but ang dami nating areas na idle. We even have government land na cogonal land. Cogon and rice are almost the same family. Rice is also a grass. Agriculture ang pinag-aralan ko kaya alam ko ito," Teves added.
