                    [Summary] => More than 450 farmers’ cooperatives throughout the country denounced yesterday what they described as unabated smuggling of imported rice by unscrupulous rice traders.


In a letter to Senate Majority Leader Loren Legarda, leaders of the farmers’ cooperatives said lawmakers should immediately look into the matter as the country would soon be flooded with imported rice.


An excess supply of imported rice would depress prices of the staple, including the local variety, to the prejudice of Filipino farmers, they said.
