One of the main issues concerning the Rice Tariffication Law is that Filipino rice farmers are having, and may continue to have, a hard time competing with imports that come with a cheaper price tag.

According to the RTL, farmers should be protected by the Rice Competitiveness Enhancement Fund (RCEF). The annual amount of P10 billion from this program should address the income increase of Filipino farmers and funding the farmers with assistance. The assistance can range from the development of in**ed rice seeds, rice farm equipment, and skills enhancement.

Given the ongoing battle of rice farmers who should be benefitting from the Rice Competitiveness Enhancement, the farmers claim that they do not feel that they are being helped out by the government.

In a report by ABS-CBN News, the Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas (KMP) says that only the registered cooperatives of the government are the only ones benefitting from the RCEF, and that only 150 cooperatives out of the 2.7 million rice farmers are registered.

It was in February 2019 that the Rice Tariffication Law, "An Act liberalizing the importation, exportation, and trading of rice, lifting for the purpose the quantitative import restriction on rice," was signed into law by President Rodrigo Duterte. The RTL focuses on having rice importers pay a tariff. Southeast Asian countries will pay a 35% tariff, while non-ASEAN members pay a 50% tariff or the tariff dictated by the World Trade Organization.

These efforts that focus on rice importation aim to make rice more accessible to Filipinos, as rice from countries like Vietnam and Thailand are sold at a more affordable price.

Did you know that local farmers are losing because of the low price rate of their rice?

And one of the reasons why this is happening is because they are forced to sell their products at low prices caused by the Rice Tariffication Law.
