[Title] => NFA chief’s resignation ‘suspicious’ — farmers’ group
[Summary] =>
A farmers’ organization expressed concern yesterday over the resignation of Gregorio Tan Jr. as administrator of the National Food Authority (NFA), finding it "suspicious" in the wake of preparations for the May mid-term elections.
The group, Rice Watch and Action Network (R1), urged the public to be vigilant on what it claimed could be "other possible reorganization plans" in the Department of Agriculture, following the re-appointment of Secretary Arthur Yap to the agency late last year.

[Title] => Record palay harvest seen due to good weather
[Summary] => Good weather raises the likelihood of palay production hitting 15.4 million metric tons (MT) this year, 300,000 MT more than the original projected full-year production of 15.1 million MT.
"It all boils down to good weather conditions, along with the fact that farmers are raring to plant more and expand the hectarage planted to rice. So far, harvest was good given a good headstart in the first quarter," said Agriculture Assistant Secretary and Bureau of Agricultural Statistics Director Romeo Recide.
