DA: Decline in food poverty linked to rice program
The Philippine Star
|January 22, 2026
The Department of Agriculture (DA) linked the sharp decline in food poverty in the fourth quarter of 2025 to the expansion of government rice programs and other food supply interventions.
Citing the latest OCTA Tugon ng Masa Survey, the DA said in a press release self-rated food poverty fell by 19 percentage points, from 49 percent in the third quarter to 30 percent in the fourth quarter of 2025 - equivalent to about five million families who no longer consider themselves food-poor.
Agriculture Secretary Francisco Tiu Laurel Jr. yesterday said the findings indicate the impact of sustained measures to ensure food availability and price stability.
