By news desk on April 01,2008

In an attempt to build up local rice stocks amid shrinking global supplies, Philippines has allowed local farmers to import 163,000 MT of rice this year.

The volume represents the quota that the Philippines has committed to import from Thailand, China, Australia and India in exchange for continuing to impose quantitative restrictions on rice. 

The Philippines had in December 2006 formally obtained approval from the World Trade Organization for an extension until 2012 of its quantitative restrictions on rice, which expired in June 2005.
