Philippines sees 2010 paddy rice output recovering

The Philippines' unmilled rice output is likely to increase to at least 17.4 million tons in 2010, a senior agriculture official said on Wednesday, from a projected 16.4 million tons last year.

But actual rice output may go up to more than 18 million tons if the government approves a higher 2010 budget, Frisco Malabanan, program director for rice at the Department of Agriculture, told reporters.
