  1. @fffUUUUUU  Potatoes is hard to grow in the Philippines, Sweet potato is okay. One thing that need to change with my countrymen is our mindset that we switch to potatoes and wheats as well. Our habit is that we eat rice 3 meals a day! It is a hard habit to break.

  3. I remember the Philippines as a rice exporter, but became an importer for numerous reasons: 1. Profit from rice production is very low. Thus, rice lands were turned into other profitable options 2. Adoption of newer technology to have higher rice yield is slow. And atbp.
