PRESIDENT Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. has reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to pursue agricultural technology advancement that will elevate the current condition of the Philippine rice industry and push for sustainable rice value chains.
“We hope to strengthen those partnerships because we very much need — not only to be able to disseminate or to provide these new varieties, the new techniques — but we also have to have a more focused approach to how we deal with the agricultural sector to the rice lands in the Philippines,” he added.
Marcos took note of various initiatives being done to improve crop resilience, which includes direct seeding of rice, Laser Land Leveling and Solar Bubble Dryer. Solar Bubble Dryer is a low-cost seed drying technology that can be set up anywhere, eliminating losses from traditional sun drying such as spillage, animals, weather, and vehicles running over the grains.
