Tabuk City agri official sees increased subsidy to rice farmers as solution to shortage

Tabuk City, Kalinga - The top agri official of this city, dubbed the "Rice Granary of the Cordillera," says that the government is in the right track when it recently increased the government palay support price to PI7.00 per kilo and likewise the subsidy for seeds.

City Agriculturist Gilbert Cawis believes that in the end, the increase of government subsidy to rice farmers will solve the rice shortage because it encourages the latter to maximize the yield of their farmlands.

“The higher NFA (National Food Authority) price for palay is expected to raise the buying price by private traders and the bigger seed subsidy is another morale-booster for farmers both of which have the effect of making the farmer produce more rice," Cawis said.

According to Cawis, this cropping season, the government has increased the subsidy for hybrid seeds from P1,000.00 to P1,500.00 per bag and for in-bred varieties from P440.00 to P600.00 per bag.

Cawis said that another reason the government should increase subsidy to the rice farming sector is the skyrocketing of farm input prices.

He suggested that the government should address this concern by giving free compost fertilizers to farmers because not only is organic fertilizer cheaper but it is also environmentally friendly unlike inorganic fertilizers which make the soil acidic.

The agricultural official believes that although most farmers prefer commercial fertilizers due to the easier application and quicker results, "they will use compost fertilizer if this is given free."

A check with palay traders in the locality showed that at the moment when the current crop is starting to come in, the price of fresh palay is P16.50 per kilo and dried palay at P18.70 a kilo, the highest ever in the history of Tabuk Valley.

Cawis also said that the government should also control the importation of rice because if rice floods the market, the tendency is for the price of palay to revert to old levels to the detriment of the farmers.

With its 10,000 hectares of irrigated rice lands, the Tabuk Valley is the foremost rice producer in the Cordillera. **By Estanislao Albano, Jr.
