ce co consu nsump mption tion of Ri Rice of Filipinos lipinos • Staple food for almost 97 million Filipinos which accounts 20 percent of an average household’s expenditures • Import more than 2 million tons making it the largest rice importer in 2010

In Interna national tional Ri Rice Rese sear arch h In Insti titut tute e (IR IRRI RI) • The Philippines is home to some of the most eminent rice scientists in the world, based at the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) • Gene bank of 112,000 types of rice are preserved • Worlds biggest rice collection

Ric Rice e pr prod oduction uction co cons nstr traints aints • 300,000 square kilometers of land area are very mountainous and consists of small islands • There are only 43,000 square kilometers of harvested area used for rice production comparing to its Asian neighbors

Ric Rice e pr prod oduction uction constraints…cont. • Underutilized farm infrastructures, • Conversion of some agricultural land to residential, commercial, and industrial land • Typhoons • Rapid population growth of 2% per year.
