00:00The Department of Agriculture is far from selling to the local government of Murang Bigas.

00:05If that's the case, 100,000 sacks of rice are ready to be sold by the National Food Authority.

00:11This is what Claycell Pardilla reported.

00:16The Department of Agriculture is planning to increase the supply of Murang Bigas.

00:21The DA's target is to sell NFA rice to the local government

00:25so that it can be sold to their residents or used in times of calamity.

00:31According to the DA, NFA rice will be sold for P38,

00:36which is equivalent to P38 to P65 per kilo of rice in major supermarkets in Metro Manila.

00:45The effect of this on the price of rice, said the DA.

00:48It can still bring down the price because the more available, the cheaper it is.

00:55300,000 sacks of rice are ready to be sold by the National Food Authority to the LGUs.

01:02According to the NFA, the rice is considered non-regular or stocked

01:07and has been in boxes in warehouses for two months.

01:09But the quality is still good.

01:11The agency needs to release the rice so that it can be used by the farmers during harvest season.

01:19We have experienced some branches and warehouses

01:24where we cannot accept a lot of rice because we don't have a place to store it.

01:30If we transfer the rice every month, let's say next month,

01:34that whole, almost 700,000 sacks of rice will be considered as two months and above

01:42and can be disposed of as an aging stock.

01:45The NFA's fund is worth P15 billion to buy local rice from farmers.

01:52This will help local farmers to sell their rice at a higher price.

01:59At the same time, the NFA will build 30 rice processing facilities

02:04that will help in drying the rice.

02:07Now, they will dry the rice and sell it.

02:11No. It's dry. It's wet.

02:14Accept that.

02:15In fact, we would like to buy wet rice.

02:18Correct.

02:19Because we already have facilities and we know that the drying process is correct.

02:24According to President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.

02:28The D.A. assured the early distribution of free rice to farmers.

02:34Aside from P30 billion from the Department of Budget and Management

02:40under the Rice Tarification Law,

02:43the D.A. has P21 billion in the National Rice Program of the agency

02:49that will increase the production of rice and make it more affordable.
