President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. on Monday discussed ways to increase local food production in the country in a closed-door meeting with the executives of the Department of Agriculture at the Bureau of Soils and Water Management Convention Hall in Quezon City on Monday on Monday.
Evangelista said they haven’t gone to budget specifics yet, although the Department of Budget and Management was present to take note of their significant considerations. “Based on our outlook, this is even submitted before, our local production is higher, our importation will always be for augmentation and for buffer stock in the commissary. If we will increase our yield in the North, then even the buffer stock will come from local production,” she added.
In an earlier interview with the Philippine News Agency, Evangelista mentioned their comprehensive assessment for programs will help them identify what needed to be modified in the entire value chain to benefit both farmers, fishers, all the way to consumers.
