00:00 The National Food Authority has approved a higher price for the farmers' rice to be sold next week.
00:10 This is the story of Clayce Dalfar, Dilian.
00:12 In front of the El Nino and the upcoming La Nina,
00:18 the rice is being managed by the buffer stock of the National Food Authority.
00:23 According to the agency's data in February, the supply of rice is around 41,000 metric tons or more per day,
00:31 which is the only requirement of the entire Philippines.
00:34 This is far from the daily inventory requirement to cross the country in case of a severe calamity or emergency.
00:44 If there are 25-26 pesos per kilo of triggers, they should be sold directly.
00:53 At the same time, they should be the ones to go to the fields and lower their criteria of 100% clean and 14% dry.
01:02 The NFA said that it is difficult for the agency to buy rice because the higher price for the farmers' rice is not enough.
01:13 But after the NFA Council this morning, the higher price for rice has been approved.
01:20 Starting next week, the NFA will buy the rice of the farmers at a higher price.
01:25 The increase in fresh rice will be from P1 to P4, which will be around P17 to P23 per kilo.
01:33 While the previous price of dry rice was only P23, it can reach up to P30.
01:39 We are at the tail end of the harvest season, so we are just chasing it.
01:43 Of course, we want to buy all the requirements, why not?
01:48 But with this price range that the Council gave us, we are confident that we can get a lot of rice from the places that are still being harvested.
02:00 I also want to add one of the reasons why the NFA increased the buying price is to encourage the farmers to plant rice,
02:12 especially now that the wet season is here and the area that can be planted has increased.
02:19 That is good news for the farmers, but it will also mean that they will buy less.
02:27 The NFA's fund is more than P17 billion for the purchase of rice.
02:32 Following the controversy over the possible sale of the old stock of the NFA to the negotiator,
02:39 the NFA will now implement the new regulation on the export of the old supply.
02:47 After, for example, the DSWD has been purchased, they have all the offers,
02:53 and the stocks that need to be disposed of will be done through auction.
02:58 It will not be just an offer.
03:02 The old 25 pesos selling price for the 3 to 6 months old NFA rice will be sold at a 20% lower than the PSA monitored price.
03:14 While the longer one, 6 months, is 30% cheaper than the PSA's spread price.
03:21 Meanwhile, the new Deputy Administrator of the Finance, Administrative and Operations Council, Mario Andrada, has taken charge.
03:31 I will be able to fulfill the challenge that the NFA has given me.
03:36 Andrada is said to be the one to direct the implementation of the 10 billion pesos modernization program of the NFA.
03:45 The NFA will be able to build more drying facilities for rice,
03:51 and better rice harvests so that the quality of the rice will be better and the rice will not rot.
