Slowdown

Agriculture accounts for one-fifth of the Philippine economy.

There has been a slow down in aggie production during the past two quarters, 3.3 % and 3.64 %, much lower than targets of 4-5 % and just half of last year’s output of 6.7 %.

The government is blaming the “drought” for this dismal showing.

I blame policies such as this one.
