AN OFFICIAL of Green Charcoal Philippines said Saturday the basically agricultural economy would once more experience a possible food crisis with what he called the rising costs of agri products.

“This, in turn, will create havoc and massive devastation resulting in less food production,” Gonzalo Catan Jr. said in a press statement.

But he said this scenario could be avoided if the country had “an efficient water management program [like a] mini-water reservoir or water storage to catch and store rain water.”

Catan said some parts of the Cordilleras had small water impounding dams “which mitigate the effects of the drought on crops.”
