In other countries, farmers are one of the most respected and has high salary. But here in the Philippines they're just being regarded by the government and abuse by some business man

[@jaerondavid4493]

Trueee

[@aichan2426]

I agree... I feel very frustrated tho if only marcos didn't let those scoundrel ppl wins!

[@Karmakeddon_MtG]

Big difference though. Most farmers in other countries own their own land and is much more of a family affair, just like what Nico said here. But I agree with you that the people they hire as farmhands get paid more since it is considered as a blue collar job.

[@kimberlymanuel7629]

Exactly!

[@shido78]

Back then we Filipinos are providing a teaching lessons about mechanisms and varieties of rice. But now we are being supplemented by other countries and being taught on how to use the proper way of harvesting rice. Its because the system that we have, I mean if they taught it back then when we are still the first country doing those kind of things then now I think we are still more likely not depending on other countries when it comes to rice. Its just sad that our farmers still suffering from the short income that they get from harvesting.

[@shido78]

But now Erwann did good job to open our eyes to see what was really happenning and talks about the culture and importation and process of rice. We should remain with high hopes that someday we will look up to our local products. Filipinos have colonial mentality.

[@LarryfromPH]

@@shido78 Not really colonial mentality, but we lack good governance specially in this sector. Those machines/infrastructure should be provided by the government in the first place. The farmlots are small so why do Filipinos have to invest on such machines?! Only the government can facilitate economy of scale.

[@probinsyanaako955]

If only EDSA REVOLUTION did not happened gosh! Our agricultural system & everything had improved a lot bec.Late pres. F Marcos already saw the problem & started doing solutions but then Aquino admin came in & that's the start of the Philippines & its people downfall untill now.bwesit na EDSa yan !

[@jedilady4485]

16:16 "So we decided me and my wife, okay maybe it's time for us to change the way we're living, early in the morning so let's try to go there (Leyte) and to see what kind of sustainable business we do. We came here to show the rest of the world that we can do sustainable business. And sustainable business is the only one that will stay on the long run, because the idea is if you are too OPPORTUNISTIC (and GREEDY) and if you want to make too much money...then there will be problem... here being sustainable, we are helping the farmer to increase their income, to get out of poverty and creating a huge positive impact on all the community" ------------ so i hope the future generation will not follow those old generation greedy hacienda farming way of life!!!

This took me back in time when I was farming rice at the young age before I immigrated to the U.S. This is a very labor intensive job which could take months of your time before you see the result of your hard work. Often faced by many challenges but the #1 predicament Filipino farmers had then was the calamities in addition to pest control. Never at easy task.

[@mamibtsrawvlogs4695]

Pero ang mga magsasaka isa sa dahilan bakit sila lalong lumulubog Ay walasilangbsariling lupa Ang taas ng % ng mga pautang Kaya kahit isangdaan pa ang anihin nila wala silang kinikita Dahil pag nakita ng mga bumibili na Maganda ang ani bagsak naman ang price.

The grand irony is that the largest importer of rice is also home to IRRI, the International Rice Research Institue, in Los Banos, Laguna. You've correctly traced the fundamental problem to inefficiency, and its root cause, absent or insufficient mechanization. But continue on causation and you end up with a lack of vision. Had we applied to rice agri, beginning in the 60s', the same resolve we now do to 'Build, Build, Build', we would today likely be the world's largest exporter of rice.
