                    [Summary] => The Philippines, the world’s biggest rice importer in 2005, plans to spend as much as P15 billion on improving its irrigation systems in order to be self-sufficient in rice production in three years.


The government, which had aimed to make the country self sufficient by 2007 through subsidizing the cost of rice seeds, decided in January to move the target date to 2009 and focus on repairing irrigation systems, Agriculture Secretary Domingo Panganiban said.
