This is in line with ongoing government efforts to curb smuggling, hoarding, and profiteering of agricultural products, particularly rice, he added. “The PNP is fully prepared to support the implementation of this law to protect our farmers and ensure that rice remains affordable for every Filipino household. Smugglers and hoarders must be held accountable for their role in undermining food security and jeopardizing the livelihoods of our farmers,” he added.
The Anti-Agricultural Economic Sabotage Act, a priority initiative of the Marcos Administration, designates smuggling, hoarding, profiteering, cartels, and financing such activities as economic sabotage, with penalties of life imprisonment and fines three times the value of the confiscated agricultural products.
