Bold vision of President Bongbong Marcos to Make P20/kilo rice a reality
President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. is not just another politician making empty promises. He is a leader with a vision, a vision that holds the potential to transform the lives of millions of Filipinos. In a recent interview in Zamboanga City, President Marcos expressed his unwavering belief that rice prices in the Philippines could indeed be reduced to a mere P20 per kilo. It’s a vision that not only inspires hope but also demonstrates a commitment to the welfare of the Filipino people.
While some may view this goal as ambitious, President Marcos stands firm, firmly believing that it is achievable once the agricultural sector stabilizes and the cost of agricultural production becomes consistent. His optimism is contagious, as he declares, “May chance lagi ‘yan.” He understands that when we streamline our production processes and make them more efficient, we reduce the vulnerability of our agriculture sector to external shocks. As a result, the support extended to our farmers can be more effective and impactful.

He knows that when things return to normal, the government can easily make the necessary adjustments to ensure that rice prices come down to P20 per kilo. His commitment to lowering rice prices is not just talk; it’s a promise backed by action.
The President emphasizes that achieving this ambitious goal hinges on improving the value chain in the rice industry. He recognizes that every stage in producing rice contributes to its overall value, and enhancing efficiency at each stage is key to reducing costs. President Marcos’ leadership is all about tackling challenges head-on and finding innovative solutions. He is determined to make rice more affordable for all Filipinos, especially those who are struggling financially.
