00:00Many challenges are being faced by various government agencies over the past 100 years,

00:05particularly the agriculture sector.

00:07What should we expect from the agriculture sector in 2025?

00:14Alan Francisco of PTV has the details of the national news.

00:21In the midst of calamities that hit the country this 2024,

00:25the Department of Agriculture worked hard to help the Filipino farmers and fishermen.

00:34There were 17 typhoons and we haven't mentioned the El Niño and La Niña typhoons yet.

00:40So in 2024, our agricultural production decreased.

00:47We were affected by many typhoons and floods.

00:51Our production decreased by negative 2.2.

00:55But despite this, the Department of Agriculture worked hard

01:00to meet the needs of our farmers and fishermen.

01:04At the start of 2025,

01:07Mike Abilive, Agriculture Assistant Secretary, Joicel Panlilio, said

01:13that they will not stop their efforts in the agriculture sector.

01:17This is part of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.'s directive

01:21to continue to provide sufficient food for the Filipinos.

01:26I can say that we will succeed.

01:28We were able to launch a lot of programs.

01:30All of our programs and interventions

01:34to ensure that there is sufficient food for each Filipino.

01:40The President said that no Filipino will be hungry.

01:44So to ensure that there is sufficient food,

01:48we will continue to provide interventions to our farmers and fishermen.

01:52We are trying to ensure that we have sufficient supply.

01:56Sometimes, our staple food is rice.

02:00This is the most important.

02:01We have launched Rice For All.

02:04It's only P40 per kilo.

02:06In January 2025, they will launch Sulit Rice and Nutri Rice.

02:12The price of Sulit Rice is P35 or P36 per kilo

02:18and the quality is also good.

02:19They will continue to teach their farmers

02:22about the importance of post-harvest programs

02:25so that agricultural products will not be destroyed

02:28even if they produce a lot or harvest a lot.

02:31This also includes increasing the number of fish.

02:34The fight against African Swine Fever is also being fought.

02:38The number of barangays affected is 6,058.

02:42But as of now, there are only 365 barangays

02:46as of our data of December 6, 2024.

02:51So it has been reduced.

02:53It means that what the Department of Agriculture is doing is becoming effective.

02:58And we have already received vaccines.

03:02The increase in African Swine Fever

03:04does not stop them from other programs

03:06such as irrigation, fattening,

03:09lending to farmers and fishermen,

03:11and many more.

03:12We have a new amended law,

03:16the Agricultural Tarification Act.

03:18That's right.

03:19For our rice farmers,

03:21before, our allocation was P10 billion per year.

03:25Now, it has become P30 billion.

03:28Wow, that's tripled.

03:29P30 billion.

03:30Yes.

03:31The purpose of this P30 billion,

03:34the use of this is P9 billion for machinery.

03:37So since our equipment will be more modern,

03:42for rice farmers,

03:44our production will increase.
