PH launches agricultural guide map to double rice output

The government on Tuesday launched a comprehensive color-coded agricultural guide (CCAG) map that can pave the way for doubling rice production to ensure food security in the country.

“We expect rice production to double because of this map. If you are talking of 100-percent growth in rice production, just imagine how huge (its impact on agricultural growth),” Department of Agriculture (DA) Secretary Emmanuel Piñol told reporters.
