Lacson eyes long-term reforms in agriculture sector
Former senator Panfilo Lacson, who is seeking a Senate comeback, supports the national government’s P20-per-kilo rice initiative as a short-term solution but highlights that it’s not financially sustainable in the long run. He said this in an interview after the 'Konsultahang Bayan' forum in Cebu on April 28, 2025 when he emphasized the need for long-term reforms in the agriculture sector, such as increasing productivity. Lacson also discussed the implementation of the Rice Tariffication Law. The P20 rice program, starting May 1 in Visayas regions, will allow families to buy rice at subsidized rates.
