Food Security In The Philippines and South East Asia

Rice —the staple food item of more than 90% of
all Filipino households and takes up 25% of the
total food budget of Filipino families.
Rising of Super Hybrid Rice in
the Philippines
The Challenge
Henry Lim Bon Liong
Chairman & CEO, SL Agritech Corp .
November, 2007
Between 1982 and 2000, average world prices
of rice have been falling by 0.58% yearly. In
contrast, Philippine wholesale prices have
been rising by 10.60% yearly.
In order to procure low price of domestic market,
Filipinos are paying billions of pesos annually due to
rice importation.
China is the most populated
country in the world
10.6%
Foreign
country
0.58%
Philippines
China feeds its 1.3 billion people with
only one-seventh of world arable land.
Hybrid Rice
Land holding Filipino vs. Chinese:
In order to regain rice self sufficiency, our government
has made great effort to popularize hybrid rice
technology in the Philippines.

Mr. Henry Lim made a historical visit to Prof. Yuan
Long Ping in his residence at Hunan, China in 1997
The SUPER hybrid
(indica-japonica):
“A tiger with
wings!”
Our Response
Prof. Yuan Long
Ping, father of
hybrid rice
Prof. Yuan Long Ping, a mentor of Mr. Henry Lim
Bon Liong, Chairman & CEO, SL Agritech Corp.
Prof. Yuan Long Ping sent his best assistant,
Mr. Zhang Zhao Dong, to us
Prof. Yuan Long Ping and Dona Maria, mother of Mr.
Henry Lim Bon Liong
In order to develop the super hybrid rice in the
Philippines, SL AGRITECH CORP., the first Filipino
Hybrid Rice Enterprise was established.
As a new local agricultural enterprise emerged, we are
getting more and more support from government.
DA Sec. Luis Lorenzo, Jr. was
paying his first visit to our
experimental farm in Laguna.

Sec. Angelo Reyes and Former Sec. Montemayor
with top officers of SL Agritech Corp.
Dr. Ronald Cantrell, Director General of IRRI
visited SL Agritech farm in Laguna
Mr. Henry Lim Bon Liong was invited by ANC stock
market program to speak about the relation of
agriculture to our country ’s economy.
We provide technical support to PHILRICE
Prof. Zhang Zhaodong and Dr. S.S. Virmani, IRRI
scientist.
We have good collaboration with IRRI.
Mr. Henry Lim Bon Liong was frequently invited
by Sec. Lorenzo to speak on hybrid rice update

Lito Sarmiento and Congressman Ben Cruz in Dighay

The Achievement
SL Agritech Corp.

SL Agritech Corporation is fully committed to support the
hybrid rice program of President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.
In order to popularize hybrid rice, we conducted large
scale F1 hybrid rice & parental seed production in
DAVAO.
B-line
(Male)
A-line
(Female)
F1 hybrid rice seeds were harvested
To ensure purity, male parents (B line) was removed
from production field.
Our industry has greatly increased rural
employment opportunity.
If we could finally solve our food security problem,
we could also solve our insurgency problems.
Rouging at seed production field.
By supplying tons of MESTIZO hybrid seeds every year,
SL Agritech has emerged as the largest supplier in the
country
Development of SUPER
HYBRID RICE in the
Philippines
As guided by principles of development of super
hybrid from Prof. YUAN LONG PING, SL Agritech
started to collect germplasm from China, IRRI, and
PhilRice. Thousands of crosses were made and
evaluated for many seasons.
A SUPER hybrid rice was projected as:
•
High yielding
•
Medium maturity
•
Good disease resistance
•
Excellent grain quality

Testing crossing and screening for Super
Hybrid Rice at Research Center of SL
Agritech Corp.
Mr. Henry Lim often visits the farm and examines
the plant.
Prof. Zhang Zhaodong, breeder of SL-8H.
SL-8H was finally released as the THIRD
GENERATION hybrid rice in the Philippines
Prof. Yuan Long Ping gave pointers to our research
scientists of SL Agritech Corp. during his visit in April,
2000.

In Hainan, China, Mr. Thomas Chen, COO of SL
Agritech, relates the story of SUPER HYBRID RICE in
the Philippines to Prof. Yuan Long Ping
He decided to come to the Philippines,
to a FARMER FIELD DAY in Laguna.
THE FATHER OF HYBRID RICE, he wanted
to be assured .
He came to harvest with Filipino
farmers.
He feels that Filipino may have
good harvest!
He personally monitored threshing in the site.
Examined the harvest to see if it was clean enough.

Checked the data carefully, if there were any
mistakes

Congratulations!
Recognized success of SL -8H, Prof. Yuan Long Ping proudly call
Prof. Zhang Zhaodong, the breeder, as son of hybrid rice.
Recognition of SL-8H from Prof. Yuan Long Ping
The lifetime wish of Prof. Yuan Long Ping is to
develop hybrid rice to give prosperity for mankind.
The Future

SL Agritech Corp will make efforts in promoting
organic farming technology by introducing
advanced Hi -Tech agri -chemical products.
SL Agritech Corp. has launched in the market …
Minister from Ministry of
Agriculture in Malaysia, tasted
SL Hybrid Rice in SL Agritech
Corp, Philippines. SL8H
yielded 14t/ha, as reported by
researchers in the country.
Minister from Ministry of
Agriculture in Madagascar, visited
SL AgritechCorp, Philippines. A
total of 360 ha SL8H seeds were
exported to the country in 2005.
Super hybrid rice, SL- 8H, treasure of Filipino Farmers
In the near future, SL Agritech Corp. will expand
its hybrid rice technology to outside of the
Philippines.
The corporation will be leading the farmers and
cooperators to regain the power for earning
foreign exchanges in the world market.
The corporation will surely contribute greatly to
our economic recovery.
