UPLAND rice is making a comeback. And rightly, so. The country needs to strengthen production of all available staple food commodities if it wants to feed its ever growing population.
With the Department of Agriculture's Agri-Pinoy programs, upland rice production is being given the importance and support it rightly deserves, a remarkable contrast to the agency's previous program thrust, where almost all interventions were focused on the production of hybrid and inbred rice, which are concentrated mainly on lowland-irrigated rice areas.
