[Title] => Palace issues EO authorizing NFA to import 350,000MT corn duty-free
[Summary] => Malacañang has issued an executive order (EO) authorizing the National Food Auhority (NFA) to import 350,000 metric tons (MT) of corn duty-free.
NFA Administrator Arthur T. Yap said the shipment should come in before June which is the start of the lean season for corn.
The importation aims to bring down feed costs of local livestock and poultry raisers, and subsequently, bring down meat prices, especially pork. Corn prices, on the other hand, are expected to hold firm.

[Title] => Corn imports won’t hurt local farmers
[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.

[Title] => Farmers buck bid to import corn duty-free
[Summary] => Local corn farmers are objecting to the proposal of the hog raisers and feedmillers to import 150,000 metric tons (MT) of corn at zero-tariff by March this year saying this will depress prices of domestically-produced corn.
"The timing of the shipment will collide with the harvest season of Northern Luzon. The issue is non-negotiable for farmers," said Rod Bioco, president of the Philippine Maize Federation Inc. (Philmaize).

[Title] => Corn farmers back Lorenzo
[Summary] => The country’s largest organization of corn farmers recently expressed its support for Agriculture Secretary Luis Lorenzo Jr. amid an apparent smear campaign aimed at one of the youngest members of the Cabinet of President Arroyo.
The Philippine Maize Federation, Inc. (PMFI) said the group believes in the "integrity and honesty of the Agriculture Secretary" and called on his detractors "to spare the agriculture sector from destructive politics".
