NAGKASUNDO ang Pilipinas at Cambodia na palakasin pa ang rice supply cooperation ng dalawang bansa

Ginawa ang kasunduan sa bilateral meeting ni Pangulong Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. kay Prime Minister Hun Manet sa sidelines ng 50th ASEAN-Australia Special Summit sa Melbourne, Australia.

“Some MOUs that have lapsed… we really need to look back and engage with in terms of trade in agriculture, rice specifically. When I visited you in Cambodia last time, that subject that we were talking about. We were preparing for this drought. It’s now happening,” pahayag ni Pangulong Marcos.

“It caught our attention. We really should look into it. Something that is necessary now. That’s the lesson learned from pandemic. We really have to be flexible in looking to our suppliers,” sabi ni Pangulong Marcos.

Ayon kay Pangulong Marcos, pinagsusumikapan ng Pilipinas na palakasin pa ang produksyon ng palay sa bansa.

Pero ayon sa Pangulo, kailangan pa rin mag-angkat ng Pilipinas ng bigas para masiguro na sapat ang suplay nito.
