[Title] => Customs asked to expedite release of rice imports to ease shortage
[Summary] => The National Food Authority (NFA) has advised the Bureau of Customs to speed up the release of incoming shipments of rice under the Farmers Organizations (FOs) import program to stave off an impending rice shortage and to stabilize the price of rice in the local market.
The NFA has requested the BOC to facilitate the release of incoming rice shipments from the United States, Thailand, Vietnam and China involving 180,000 metric tons of rice, which consists of 50 percent "moslo" and 25 percent "brokens," long grain white rice.

[Title] => Palace keeps hands off rice import plan
[Summary] => The government will maintain its hands-off policy on rice importation to encourage farmers’ organizations (FOs) to eventually take over this function completely from the National Food Authority (NFA).
This despite criticisms the Arroyo administration is making another blunder by turning farmers into rice traders instead of focusing on creating policies that will make the country self-sufficient in rice while ensuring that local price production is profitable.

[Title] => NFA revises rice import program for farmers
[Summary] => Bowing to pressure from farmers organizations (FOs), the National Food Authority (NFA) is revising its Farmers as Importers program (FAI).
NFA Administrator Arthur Yap said the state-run agency has agreed to accommodate the requests of FOs to encourage a more "equitable participation" in the FAI.
For one, the NFA will limit the import ceiling for each farmer group at 500 metric tons (MT) per quarter or lower, depending on the number of applicants for the program, but each party can bring in only up to a maximum of 1,000 MT per year.

[Title] => NFA puts on hold all applications for rice import program
[Summary] => The National Food Authority (NFA) is temporarily suspending its rice importation program for farmers pending investigation of accredited but alleged fake farmers’ organizations (FOs).
NFA Deputy Administrator Gregorio Tan said the state-run agency has stopped processing all FO applications following complaints by several disgruntled FOs that some of those given licenses are either dormant groups or non-palay/rice farmer-based groups.
