 I've got one of my golf balls, sorry, and that will be it for you. It's a great pleasure to have all of you here, and I would just like to welcome the Secretary Alcalá. It's a wonderful opportunity to have you here, and all the distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, and most importantly all the farmers from the Philippines, so welcome. Just to share with you a couple of words about Geary, why we are here. We've been here for 50 years, wonderful host country in the Philippines, to help improve the lives of so many farmers and rice consumers around the world. And that is what we are about, making the lives of rice farmers and consumers better, and making for a healthy environment as well. I think if we look at rice production in the Philippines, it is an example of a wonderful success. The growth of rice production in the Philippines has been spectacular, and it's a credit to all the farmers in the Philippines who have adopted the new technologies and taken them forward. And the Philippines are among the most productive farmers in the world. We've gone from 2.5 billion tons to over 11 million tons per hectare per year, tremendous achievement. I've got one thing that I wanted to show. If we look at it from the very beginning, not too long 1960, Thailand was more productive than the Philippines. Today, the Philippines are far more productive than Thailand. Everybody talks about Thailand when it's the Philippines who are really the leaders in rice production. And in the Philippines, we focus on developing new varieties and new technologies, working very closely with rice and UPLP are most important partners. If we look at the varieties that we have produced in the Philippines, it is phenomenal. Almost 90 varieties have been produced, most for irrigated, but also for rain-fed conditions. So we try to reach all of the farmers in the Philippines, and we have just some of the most recent varieties, both for stress tolerance as well as the high yielding varieties in the rain-fed and irrigated conditions. And the most famous NCIS-CRC B2-2 that you will see out in the field today is a tremendous variety. We also look at working and improving the use of our natural resources. Water is continuously a problem for the price farmer, and we have developed with our partnership with rice a way of using much less water. We can use much less water and be much more profitable. We have a way of monitoring the rice levels in the field just using a simple PVC tube in the field. We will see that again today. So we can reduce water consumption by 20% and increase profits by 25%. Test control. We all know the problems of tongue-grown and VPH, our insect-resistant varieties, IPM-integrated pest management, essential to rice farming profitability, as well as helping to protect our environment. Most recently launched with the Department of Agriculture, methods for farmers to determine how much fertilizers to apply in their fields and when. This is something that's launched. Cell phone technology, a farmer, you will be able to call in and you are able to call in using your cell phone. You get a specific advice for your field, under your conditions, and you will know what fertilizers to apply and when. I think that's a major partnership with both low and smart. The two big cell phone providers working together with dairy, with field rice to provide the best technology to you. Now, this is for our local government officials. We invest a huge amount of money in the Philippines. We spend billions of pesos, a vast majority of our employees are Filipino, and in fact all of the work that here is done, all of its contributions to mankind, are due to the outstanding Philippine scientists' community that we have here. And I think it is a tremendous gift that the Philippines has made to the world to contribute to the food security of the world through the high quality Philippine scientists. And we have, with UPRB, with field rice, spent decades creating the Philippine scientific community that in fact has made the Green Revolution possible, and made the Rights Revolution in the Philippines possible. Over 100 THD scientists developed here, and over 2,000 Filipinos educated here. We're very proud of that relationship. And I think it's a question of our partnership, field rice, UPLP, we take the most sophisticated science and transform it into a way that all farmers can use around the world, in the Philippines and beyond. And so I thank you for coming. I welcome you to here. I invite you to appreciate the new technologies you'll see in the field. And thank you very much.
