Is rice a political commodity?
Different programs were adopted by the government subsidizing expenditures in almost all aspect of rice production in the hope of attaining rice sufficiency. From providing credit. fertilizer, equipment, post harvest facilities, to land reform and others, government subsidy is there. Yet, it would seem that the people's aspiration to free the farmers from the bondage of the soil is an impossible dream. This only means that there is something wrong with the programs and policies adopted by the government to address the issue. Does change in its approach to solve the problem should be made to ensure food security of our people? Is rice a political commodity?
