Negros has enough rice supply – gov

BACOLOD CITY: Negros Occidental Gov. Alfredo Maranon Jr. assured Negrenses that there is enough rice supply in the province in the wake of reported absence of NFA rice in some parts of the country saying local farmers reported higher than the average produce.

The governor said the local production has increased exponentially with some farmers reporting they are producing seven tons per hectare which is a lot higher than the 4.2 tons average per hectare produced in the entire country.
