The NYR is part of the Philippine government’s bid to achieve rice self-sufficiency starting in 2013. It is an advocacy campaign that aims to promote responsible rice consumption for better health, less rice wastage, and productive farming through efficient rice technologies and farmers that do better. The year 2013 was proclaimed as the National Year of Rice by President Benigno S. Aquino III under Proclamation No. 494 on 18 October 2012 to rally everyone to this aim.
