The Philippines is the 8th-largest rice producer in the world, accounting for 2.8% of global rice production. [1] The Philippines was also the world's largest rice importer in 2010. [2] [needs update] There are an estimated 2.4 million rice farmers in the Philippines as of 2020. [3]
Hybrid Rice. Hybrid rice is a type of Asian rice that has been crossbred from two very different parent varieties. [1] As with other types of hybrids, hybrid rice typically displays heterosis or "hybrid vigor", so when grown under the same conditions as comparable purebred rice varieties, it can produce up to 30% more yield. [2]
Expediting the production of inbred lines: Even if the final propagule for the farmers' fields is hybrid seed, not hybrid clones, the parents of exceptional F1 hybrids could be immediately clonally propagated if they were rhizomatous. These genetic replicas could be maintained indefinitely and crossed afresh each year to produce new F1 hybrid seed.
The Philippines was also the world's largest rice importer in 2010. [30] In 2010, nearly 15.7 million metric tons of palay (pre-husked rice) were produced. [31] In 2010, palay accounted for 21.86% percent of gross value added in agriculture and 2.37% of GNP. [32] Self-sufficiency in rice reached 88.93% in 2015. [33] Rice production in the ...
According to Escuro in his 1993 paper, "Role of rice in the national economy", he analyzed different factors that affects the lack of the Philippines' self-sufficient rice production. [ 6 ] In terms of non-crop production problems he blamed high population growth, which at the time the Philippines has 2.6 percent annual growth rate, the highest ...
"The Philippines population grows 1.5% annually, driving up its demand for rice, while domestic supplies haven't been able to match, and therefore (it) has to increase imports," Laurel said at a ...
Elite inbred strains are used that express well-documented and consistent phenotypes with yield that is relatively good for inbred plants. [2] Other characteristics of the parents are carefully chosen to provide desirable traits such as improved color, flavour, or disease resistance.
Rice production by country (2019) This is a list of countries by rice production in 2022 based on the Food and Agriculture Organization Corporate Statistical Database.
