00:00 We are also helping to save rice and update on the supply and price of the main products.

00:07 I am joined by the Department of Agriculture spokesperson, Asek Arnel Demesa. Good morning and welcome to my news.

00:15 Good morning JP and Connie to all who are listening and watching. Good morning.

00:20 Asek, I have been asked before by the former senator and now President BBM,

00:27 about the sale of half rice because billions of rice are being wasted every year.

00:38 What are the concrete steps that we are talking about?

00:42 That's right Connie and JP. About 10 grams or two tablespoons per person is being wasted.

00:52 That's about 385,000 metric tons a year. That's a lot and we can feed a lot of people.

00:58 So National Rice Awareness Month is one of the programs, I might say, as part of our awareness program.

01:08 The focus is not only on production of our farmers.

01:14 Our awareness campaign should be for consumers and food, whether it's at home or in the kitchen,

01:23 that we should eat enough and cook what we can finish so we won't waste.

01:32 A lot of rice and rice grains are being wasted.

01:35 If there are people who are extra rice, there are also people who are half rice.

01:38 But not all are selling half rice.

01:41 What do you think of this former senator and now President BBM, is he supportive of fill rice?

01:48 Yes. He is supportive of the action because there are individuals who cannot finish a cup of rice.

01:59 If there is a half cup available in all the restaurants, hotels, it will be better at large for our country.

02:10 But some people are forced to have one cup because of the high price of rice.

02:16 Is the price and supply of rice stable in our country?

02:21 Yes. Our supply is stable. Our local production is good. We haven't experienced much typhoon in the past few years.

02:30 We can expect record harvest this year, more than 20 million metric tons plus our additional imports.

02:39 We can expect a solid national stock inventory of rice.

02:44 Asek, it has been raining and the weather is bad in some parts of the country.

02:50 What are the expected supply and price of agricultural commodities, especially in the provinces that were hit by the typhoon?

02:58 The holiday season is coming. Asek?

03:01 We are okay with rice. We can expect more than 300,000 metric tons of local production for this year.

03:13 Plus the imports that were programmed last month.

03:18 For chickens, our production is very good. For eggs, it's good.

03:24 We have more than 36 million eggs per day that our commercial layer produces.

03:29 Aside from this, our native chickens.

03:34 Our vegetables are good, except for potatoes that were affected by the typhoon. They are harvesting this November and December.

03:43 The price is starting to fall.

03:47 On onions, it's a bit higher, about P10 per kilo.

03:52 Even though our imported red onions are stable at P140 per kilo.

03:58 Asek, how is the reorganization of the Department of Agriculture that was done by our new Agriculture Secretary?

04:07 Yes. Our chief of staff is new because he is very important as the trust and confidence of our government.

04:18 Asek Gibara was appointed as the Executive Director of the Department of Agriculture because Asek Cristine Evangelista passed away.

04:29 Our attache in Korea and Japan, Aleli Maguirang, was appointed as a non-resident attache in Palau Island and Marshall Island.

04:42 Thank you very much for your time, Department of Agriculture Secretary, our spokesperson, Asek Arnel Demesa.

04:50 Thank you very much, JP and Connie. Long live to you.
