Filipino farmer Gamaliel Pagharion inspects his rice farm after it was damaged by flood and pests, a recipe for a failed harvest in Pigcawayan the rice producing town of North Cotabato province in southern Mindanao island on May 9, 2008. Philippine authorities would pursue an "aggressive" buying policy to boost rice stocks for one of the world's largest rice importers ahead of the typhoon season and supply cheap rice to the poor. The shift to biofuels productions or other land use, trade restrictions, increased demand from Asia, poor harvests due to calamities and pests and higher transport costs have all been blamed for the price rises to near-record levels in recent months.

  • LONDON - APRIL 15: Environmental protestor's placards lampoon Transport Secretary Ruth Kelly and Prime Minister Gordon Brown outside the Department of Transport on April 15, 2008 in London.
