President Marcos' order suspending the importation of regular and well-milled rice for 60 days takes effect today
Under Executive Order No. 93 issued on Aug. 29, Marcos said the suspension of the importation of regular and well-milled rice was based on the recommendation of the Department of Agriculture (DA) to protect the country's agricultural sector. It shall take effect from Sept. 1 until Oct. 30 this year.
"Upon the recommendation of the DA, the importation of regular milled and well-milled rice is hereby suspended. The suspension of importation shall not cover specialty rice varieties not commonly produced by local farmers," the Marcos said.
