Propaganda article from the English language edition of Ang Bayan posted to the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) Website (Oct 7, 2020): Rice farmers demand subsidy
The Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas (KMP) demanded the Duterte regime to subsidize palay farmers to save them from bankruptcy amid falling farmgate prices of palay. According to KMP, the regime may use the ₱10.727 billion in rice import taxes that it was able to collect to aid approximately 72,800 peasant families. This October, the farmgate price of palay fell to ₱10-14 per kg.
Meanwhile on October 1, peasant groups launched a campaign to promote agroecology, a farming approach which centers on food production that makes use of nature while not destroying resources. The campaign is spearheaded by Pesticide Action Network Asia Pacific in coordination with the Unyon ng Manggagawa sa Agrikultura, SAKA and MASIPAG.
