Senator Cynthia Villar is pushing for around P7 billion allocation to the Rice Competitiveness Enhancement Fund under the proposed 2025 national budget amid the recent reduction of tariffs on imported rice.Villar manifested this during the continuation of the Senate finance subcommittee's hearing on the Department of Agriculture's proposed P200.19 billion budget for 2025, which she presided over.
