[Title] => NFA wants rice imports from Thailand limited to 100,000 MT
[Summary] => The National Food Authority (NFA) is insisting on limiting its rice importation from Thailand to just 100,000 metric tons (MT) which is part of the concession package Manila granted to Bangkok in exchange for the former’s retention of higher tariff rates on imported sugar.
The Philippines and Thailand are close to completing negotiations for a bilateral agreement that will allow the Philippines to maintain its import tariff on sugar at 50 to 56 percent and even possibly raise this to as high as 80 percent.
