Senator Cynthia A. Villar has sought the approval of her bill on yellow corn, noting its importance in poultry, especially the egg-laying type .
She said yellow corn is one of the country’s main agricultural crops which Is mainly used for livestock and poultry feeds. While the Philippine Statistics Authority shows our yellow corn production has been on an upward trend since 2017, Villar said this is not sufficient to cover the needs of the livestock and poultry sector.To cope with the demand, she said the country continues to import corn, feeds and other feeds components, which greatly affects the income and welfare of our corn farmers.
