The Constitutional Democratic Party said that there is concern that the income of farmers will decrease due to price drops, as the inventory of rice for main food is increasing due to the drop in demand for eating out due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection. , I am asking the government to strengthen the measures.
According to the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, the private stock of rice for main food was about 2.19 million tons as of the end of June, which has increased by nearly 16% in the last two years.
It is believed that the decline in demand for eating out due to the spread of the new corona infection is also having an impact.
In response to this situation, the Constitutional Democratic Party has decided to urge the government to strengthen measures, saying that there is concern that the income of farmers will decrease due to the fall in rice prices in the future.
Specifically, it is necessary to expand the limit of rice stocked by the government to accept a certain amount of rice in private stock and stabilize the price.
On top of that, the accepted rice should be used to support children's cafeterias around the world and people who are forced to live a difficult life due to the influence of the new corona.
We are also requesting the introduction of a “household income compensation system” to stabilize the income of farmers in preparation for various risks “after corona”.
