There is a rice crisis, alright, but contrary to what critics of Philippine President Gloria Arroyo say that it's all the government's fault, the current rice crisis is a global phenomenon.
Thus, efforts do not have to be national-it has to be regional. In Southeast Asia, where rice is the staple food, the efforts have to be made now.
This is what Arroyo is trying to tell the ASEAN nations during the 16th ASEAN Farmers' Summit in Cagayan de Oro City earlier today.
