Marcos discusses rice buffer stock with economic team, NFA execs

President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. on Tuesday met with members of his economic team and National Food Authority officials.

According to the Office of the President on Twitter, Marcos met with the  officials to plan the administration's steps on maintaining sufficient rice buffer stock in the country.

The OP shared photos of Marcos during the meeting.

Marcos earlier called for the operationalization of the “Masagana 150” and “Masagana 200” proposals of former Secretary William Dar, citing the looming food crisis.

He also proposed a farm-to-market road masterplan that will, according to him, ensure food security in the country.

Marcos said the FMR masterplan will serve as a guide for the government in promoting food security and empowering rural communities. —Richa Noriega/NB, GMA News
