Rice self-sufficiency is vital
With natural disasters of various types occurring around the world, we need to attain rice self-sufficiency and ensure a reliable supply chain so that there is enough food for people at all times. As we boost our agricultural production, we also need to have a good buffer stock which needs to be amassed. As a result, the normal rice production will naturally keep the market price stable and the government will be able to focus more on other national issues.
