马尼拉中国新闻社,8月6日(张Xinglong记者)菲律宾总统马科斯(Marcos)命令6次暂停从今年9月1日起,将所有水稻进口暂停60天,以保护在收获季节最低水稻价格影响的当地农民。菲律宾信息部在一份声明中说,马科斯总统在访问印度时与内阁成员进行了咨询,并最终通过菲律宾农业部的建议来做出先前的决定。政府希望通过暂停进口来稳定全国水稻价格。菲律宾农业部表示,随着与印度有关的出口禁令的起义,国际大米市场的丰富供应在今年中期的首要价格上达到了最高908万吨的稻米生产,所有这些都迫在眉睫。 “目前,一些私人商人减少了the rice purchase price to 8 pesos (approximately 1 yuan) to 10 pesos per kilogram, well below the production cost of 12 pesos," the Philippines Ministry of Agriculture pointed out in a statement that farmers generally believe that lower rice prices are closely linked to the large influx of cheap imported rice. In addition, the Ministry of Agriculture of the Philippines has recommended that the president recover the rice import tariffs of 15% to 35% original.去年7月,菲律宾政府将进口税率从35%降低到15%,以阻止水稻价格的持续上涨。
