It looks like the Philippines will not just have enough rice, the country will most probably be exporting rice to the Middle East before the end of 2013.
The glutinous rice is called Basmate and it is set to be shipped to Dubai first.
Congrats to the Department of Agriculture (DA)! This is all possible because they gave farmers tools and machinery on an 85 to 15 percent cost-sharing basis, according to Interaksyon.
