Food Security update on the Philippines

It is more fun criticizing




Food security in the Philippines

We think the govt is strict about food security.   We are a developer and they are very slow on acting 
on land conversion.

More can be done regarding food security:

1.   Supply and demand projection, and planting and production schedules

2.  Tariff protection

3.  Improvement of infrastructures:   and inputs:

    1.  fertilizer and seeds
    2.  Fingerlings, piglets, and cattle
    3.  Strengthening what exists and making them work
    4.  Cold storage
    5.  Solar pumps
    6   Post harvest facilities
    7.  Supply chain
    8.  MBA in Agri courses

4.  Scientific farming:

   1.  Greenhouses, with irrigation
   2.  High value added crops
   3.  Hydrophonics and drip

5,  Corporate farming

It is good that some big companies like MVP group are paying attention to food security.   However their is with high value coco products:   MCTs and buko juice.

Finally Jollibee Food Corporation chicken plant made profit

The CP farms of Thailand have been doing good in the Philippines

6.  Adoption of new technologyies

    Substitute for rice
