Fourth-generation farmers walk on an embankment in their 1,000 square meter rice farm in Sitio Libis, Barangay Krus na Ligas in Quezon City on Wednesday, January 17.
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. is set to sign a memorandum of agreement with Vietnam, formalizing an inter-governmental pact on rice trade which will ensure a "stable" supply of rice especially during calamities. However, some farmers fear the new agreement will only result in local farmers being eased out due to the proliferation of cheap imported rice in the market.
