Farmers’ groups will ask the Supreme Court to stop the implementation of Executive Order 62 that allows a 15 percent tariff on imported rice, down from the current 35 percent, until 2028.

MANILA, Philippines —

The levy on rice, which covers both in-quota and out-quota rates, is subject to review every four months based on the EO. Among the grounds to be raised before the SC is the lack of public consultation conducted by the Tariff Commission, according to the SINAG legal counsel. He added that the United States Department of Agriculture had projected that rice imports would reach 4.6 million metric tons or one million MT higher compared to the total rice imports last year.
