Author of rice tariff law gets farmers’ ire

The Federation of Free Farmers (FFF) urged Sen. Cynthia Villar, main author of the Rice Tariffication Law, to be more proactive in addressing the problems besetting the rice sector.

In a statement over the weekend, FFF expressed disappointment over Villar’s recent statement that it is too early to review Republic Act 11203 or the Rice Tariffication Law at this time because the law had not yet been fully implemented.
