Agri growth can’t be achieved under Aquino’s term – Kiko

GROWTH in the country’s agricultural sector cannot be achieved in six years or during the term of President Benigno Aquino 3rd, newly appointed Presidential Adviser on Food Security and Agricultural Modernization Francis “Kiko” Pangilinan said on Thursday.

In a briefing with Palace reporters, the former senator explained that “irreversible” agricultural growth can only be realized between 15 and 20 years as shown by the experiences of other Asian countries.
