Author : Briones, Roehlano M.
Dr. Roehlano Briones (Philippine Institute for Development Studies [PIDS] and Brain Trust Inc.), a thought leader in rice policy, appreciates the depth and clarity of Dawe and Timmer’s insights in his commentary. Nonetheless, he calls for a fuller exploration of critical themes such as value-adding structural transformation, the true nature of price stabilization mechanisms, and the looming challenges of climate change and resource scarcity. Dr. Briones suggests that these issues merit more explicit attention to better guide future policy and industry adaptation in Asia’s rapidly evolving rice sector.
