ROSALES, Pangasinan – Former Senator and 2025 senatorial candidate Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson is pushing for a data-driven national strategy that will lessen our dependence on rice imports.
Lacson said such a data-driven approach will ensure that surplus rice from productive regions will reach areas with low supply, and minimize the impact of inefficiencies in agricultural logistics.
“What is important is that our moves must be data-driven. We need an efficient and effective monitoring and data-sharing mechanism,” he said in English at the “Konsultahang Bayan: Agenda para sa Agrikultura” forum at the New Bagsakan Center of the Rosales Farmer’s Market here Wednesday.
