Why Does the Philippines Import Rice?' was the title of a book published in 2006 by the International Rice Research Institute and Philippine Rice Research Institute, with a foreword jointly signed by then IRRI director general Robert S. Ziegler and PhilRice executive director Leocadio S. Sebastian (now undersecretary for Rice Industry Development at the Department of Agriculture). The book compiles interesting facts and analyses by rice scholars from both institutions, which remain very relevant to the raging debate on rice trade that persists today.
