THE Federation of Free Farmers (FFF) said that while the Rice Tariffication Law (RTL) had some positive impact on the country's rice sector, what the government reports on the law's benefits are 'half-truths' backed by 'deceptive' claims.

In a position paper, Leonardo Montemayor, board chairman of the Federation of Free Farmers (FFF), presented their stand over the economic effects of the RTL, or Republic Act (RA) 11203, as President-elect Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos Jr. is yet to make a pronouncement on the law.
