The Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the Philippine government may yet come to
an agreement with regards the controversial proposed privatization of the
National Food Authority -- one of the major conditions for the approval of the
$175-million Grains Sector Development Program (GSDP) loan.

Of the $175 million, $100 million will be used for budgetary support while the
balance will be for agriculture infrastructure.
