PRESIDENT Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. on Sunday assured the public of sufficient food supplies, including rice, pork, beef and chicken, amid the threat of a strong El Ni\u00f1o.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The President also \u00a0urged households to grow their own vegetables to help cushion the impact of drought on agricultural production.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Siyempre, we\u2019ll produce as much as we possibly can. Pero mabuti na \u2018yung sigurado\u2026Hindi mangyayari na maubusan tayo\u2026 Alam mo naman sa atin \u2018pag sinabing food supply, bigas \u2018yan. Ang ibig sabihin rice is food \u2013 is rice is food is rice. Well, hindi lang sa Pilipinas, and all of Asia. So, \u2018yan ang tinitiyak natin,\u201d President Marcos said in a media interview in Singapore.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI asked about pork products, about beef, about chicken. Again, the supplies are sufficient. And in terms of chicken, we in fact have an oversupply of chickens and we\u2019re overproducing a little bit kaya nagbabagsakan nang kaunti ang presyo,\u201d the President added.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIn terms naman of pork, maayos naman. Ang production natin is okay. So food supply is assured. The only thing that will be hard hit will be vegetables kasi walang tubig. Tuyot lahat,\u201d the Chief Executive noted.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The President acknowledged that drought could severely affect vegetable production in key growing regions, urging the public to grow vegetables in their backyards to help augment food supplies.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cSo sabi ko, balikan natin \u2018yung Green Revolution. Let\u2019s encourage everybody. Naka-Green Revolution na tayo noon, a long time ago. Tapos noong pandemic, nabuhay \u2018yung \u201cplantita.\u201d Ituloy na natin \u2018yun,\u201d said the President.<\/strong><\/p>\n

On the Department of Agriculture, Green Revolution 2.0 aims to encourage every Filipino to plant vegetables at home to ease the burden on the country\u2019s food system and supply chain.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s just keep that going. Get everybody to plant their own vegetables. Kaya naman kung \u2013 that will help again. It won\u2019t solve the entire problem, but it will help,\u201d President Marcos added.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A \u201cSuper El Ni\u00f1o\u201d is estimated to last until March of next year, the President said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The President is flying to Manila Sunday after concluding his working visit to Singapore from Oct. 7 to 11. <\/strong><\/p>\n
