Price gouging policies being proposed by lady US Presidential Candidate - sort of unfair and contradictory to govt actions

It is more fun criticizing

In the battle for US Presidency, and lady candidate is proposing an anti gouging law that would punish retailers from profiting from price increases during inflation.  Why punish the trader when the govt:

     1.  Has increased interest rate from the Federal Reserve.   The trader has no choice but to pass on the cost

     2.  The printing of too much money naturally causes the price of goods to rise because of oversupply of money.  More money vs goods means higher price of good.

These price increases are the results of govt actions, not by traders.  Traders know that higher prices result in lower sales, and lower margin.

Certainly this is populist policy and very likely to win votes.  The Philippine geniues might copy this.

More thinking should be made in this proposed policy if ever the candidate wins

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
