Palay prices in the Philippines inched up to P15.89 per kilo in October from P15.60 in September, following the government’s rice import ban aimed at boosting farm gate prices, according to data from the Philippine Statistics Authority.
Palay production for the third quarter is projected to rise by 18 percent year-on-year to 3.93 million metric tons, largely driven by a surge in output from rainfed areas, according to the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA).
The farm gate price of palay continued its downward spiral in July, dragged down by weakening global prices of the grain that have spurred a surge in rice imports.
The cost of producing palay—the unmilled form of rice, the Philippines’ national food staple—exposes deep regional disparities that mirror the effects of geography, infrastructure, and urban sprawl on the country’s agriculture.
The country’s palay and corn production for the second quarter is projected to record double-digit increases, the latest estimates of the Philippine Statistics Authority.
