[Title] => Stagnation of rice sector threatens stability of Asia
[Summary] => LOS BAÑOS, Laguna – Inadequate development in the rice sector continues to threaten the stability of Asia.
Rice farming remains a "poverty trap" in many Asian nations, mainly because of very small farm size. Adding to the misery of rice growers in the region is declining support for public rice research, one of the few proven avenues for improving the lives of rice farmers and consumers alike.

[Title] => Central Luzon farmers now using less insecticides
[Summary] => Rice farmers in Central Luzon have been using less insecticides than those in other major rice-producing regions in Asia.
Since the late 1980s, insecticide use by rice growers in the country’s "rice granary" has been falling compared to the situation in other Asian rice bowls, where the use of insecticides and other chemicals remains high or is even increasing.
