The Philippine Department of Agriculture said it would continue fuel and toll subsidies, financial aid, farm inputs, crop insurance and reduced tariffs on essential animal-feed ingredients such as corn. It also said it was expanding the affordable rice program as food inflation reached 7.8% in October.
