Available data show that the Philippines have enough food supply from domestic production and importation, and this can meet the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) of the population. In the aggregate, the country is self-sufficient in food crops, except for rice and vegetables, based on current production and consumption figures.

                    [Summary] => The importation of 350,000 metric tons (MT) of corn is not likely to hurt Filipino farmers as imports, even if brought in duty-free, will be more expensive than locally produced corn.


This was the observation of Rod Bioco, president of the Philippine Maize Federation Inc. (Philmaize) who reported that end users are now scrambling to stock up on the commodity while prices are soft as a result of a bumper crop.

Agriculture  Secretary Luis Lorenzo Jr. said the growth will be achieved  because of anticipated higher yields in corn-producing areas like  Ilocos, Cagayan Valley, Central Luzon, Northern and Central Mindanao, and the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao.
