Rice Production in the Philippines

In 2014, the Philippine rice industry performed well, reaching a national
production all-time high of 18.97 million metric tons. The 2.87% production
growth exceeded the previous years record by 528,406 million tons. The
boost in production is attributed to the 3% improvement in the average yield
per hectare, which increased from 3.89 million tons per hectare in 2013 to 4
million tons per hectare in 2014 (Agrochart, 2015).
With the current rapid population growth, accompanied with decreasing

of countries by population having the total land area is 298,192

(115,133 sq. miles) ( Worldometers, 2016).

Rice importation in the Philippines
Under the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) Trade in
Goods Agreement (ATIGA), rice imports have a 35 percent duty through
CY2015. In July 2014 the World Trade Organization's (WTO) granted the
Philippines request to extend quantitative restrictions on rice imports
through July 2017. In exchange, the in-quota limit was raised to 805,200 MT
(from 350,000 MT) and the in-quota tariff was reduced from 40 percent to 35
percent (the out-of-quota tariff remained at 50 percent), through July 1,
2017.
According to the Philippine Statistical Authority (PSA), paddy rice (palay)
production in CY2014 reached a record 19 million tons, up 2.87 percent from
the CY2013 level (18.4 million tons) despite a marginally lower area
harvested. Area harvested declined to 2.64 million hectares in CY2014 from
2.70 million hectares in CY2013. Yields, however, improved to 4.01 tons per
hectare from 3.86 tons per hectare during the same period, according to PSA
data. Major rice producing areas include the Cagayan Valley, Central Luzon,
the MIMAROPA region (composed of Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon and
Palawan provinces), the Bicol Region, and the Davao region.
The World Trade Organization (WTO) in July 2014 granted the Philippine
request to extend quantitative restrictions on rice imports through July 2017.
In exchange, the rice tariff quota or Minimum Access Volume (MAV) will be
raised to 805,200 MT (from 350,000 MT) and in-quota tariffs will be reduced
from 40 percent to 35 percent. Out-of-quota tariffs are to remain at 50
percent through July 1, 2017(Agrochart, 2015).

Hybrid Rice
Geert Haesaert, (2014) stated that as with other types of hybrids, hybrid
rice
typically
displays heterosis,
more commonly known
as
hybrid vigor, which is indicated by more rapid growth and considerable
higher yields than produced by the parental lines.
According to the Bureau of Agricultural Research (BAR) (2010),in Nueva
Ecija, farmers are again overwhelmed with the benefits that they are reaping
from their hybrid rice farms. More than 55,000 ha of rice fields were planted
to hybrid rice in the 2010 dry cropping season and the farmers there have
harvested an average of 7.73 mt/ha in yield. As for inbred rice, of the 93,000
ha planted to this variety, an average yield of only 5.70 mt/ha was obtained.

STRENGTHS

Heterosis o ang hybrid vigour ay isang pangyayari na kung saan

pinagsasama ang dalawang linya na may magandang katangian
upang mapunta ito sa isang halaman.
High yielding ang hybrid rice dahil 15-20 % na mas mataas ang inaani
kaysa sa inbred rice.
Mas kaunti yung ginagamit na punla para sa hybrid dahil may
sinusunod na dami at distansya , 20 gramo ng binhi kada metro
kwadrado.
Mas maganda na sundin ang tamang distansya at dami ng binhil dahil
mas makukuha ng halaman ang sapat na sustansya, tubig at liwanag
na kailangan nito sa paglaki.
Dahil mas maikli ang panahon upang ito ay anihin mas mababawaaan
ang gastos sa pagpapatubig at maiiwasan ang pananalasa ng insekto
at mga kalamidad.
Malaki ang kita dahil mataas ang ani pag hybrid ang gamit na binhi.

WEAKNESSES

10 taon ang inaabot bago makapaglabas/gawa ng bagong barayti.

Hindi na nararapat pang itanim ulti ang buto na inani mula sa hybrid
dahil nabawasan na ang kakayahan nito para magproduce ng
magandang binhi at mahina na ito lban sa mga peste at sakit.
Mas mahal ang buto ng hybrid dahil nagkakahalaga ito ng 850 peso
kada tatlong kilo samantalang makakabili na ng inbred sa halagang
1200 kada 40 kilo
Hindi lahat ng magsasaka sumusunod sa tamang distansya at dami ng
itinatanim, dahil ang paniniwala nila pag mas madaming tanim mas
madaming aanihin.
Dahil nga sa maikling panahon lamang ang nagugugol sa pagtatanim
ng hybrid rice. Mas madaming beses pwede magtanim ang farmer
kaya may posibilidad na hindi n nakakapagpahinga ang lupa.
Dahil mas maraming pataba ang ginagamit mas nagiging berde at mas
makatas na mas nakakahikayat ng insekto at maaring magdala ng
sakit.
Dahil mas malaki ang hybrid, mas nangangailan ito ng mas madaming
abono para

OPPORTUNITIES

Dahil mas madami ang ani sa hybrid rice mas mapupunan ang
pangangailangan ng bansa sa pagdating sa bigas.
Mas makakatipid pag sinunod ang planting distance at seedling rate dahil
mas makokontrol ang dami ng punla na gagamitin sa bukid.
Kapag madami ang inaapply ang abono mas nagiging acidic ang lupa nito.
Mas mataas ang kita sa hybrid rice dahil mas malaki ang inaani dahil sa
kakayahan nito.
Mas madaming panicle kaya mas madaming buto ang pwedeng
maproduce ng isang halaman, mas madaming ani.

THREATS
Habang nagfufusion ang dalawang parent maaring magdulot ito ng
mutation, pagbabago ng genes na maaring madulot ng
masama/mabuting epekto.
Karamihan sa mga mataas umaing palay ay matigas o hindi masarap,
dahil hindi pa nkapagbreed ng variety na mataas na umani at may
masarap na lasa.
Kapag nakita ng ibang farmer na kumikita sa paggamit ang hybrid,
tutularan nla ito kayat mas madami ng magiging kompetensya dito.
May tsansyang hindi tumubo ung ibang binhi.
Angb paglalagay nng lime ay nkakabawa sa pagkaasim ng lupa
