00:00 Buffer stocking or the imbuckment of the supply of agricultural products is the solution

00:06 of the Department of Agriculture in the high price of buying.

00:09 The problem is the opinion of the group SINAG.

00:12 Witness, EJ Gomez.

00:15 The Department of Agriculture is pushing for a buffer stock

00:23 or imbuckment of the supply of agricultural products

00:26 to lower the price of buying and to have an effect of inflation.

00:31 In the time of shortage and price increase,

00:34 the stocks will be released for price stabilization.

00:37 The Department is allowing to import, to buy in local or foreign

00:44 to have an opportunity that if the price is high in the market,

00:52 if there is a shortage of supply, there will be an intervention in the department

00:57 as long as there is a vote allocated to the general appropriation.

01:01 According to the Department of Trade and Industry or DTI,

01:04 buffer stocking is also a mechanism to avoid hoarding.

01:08 It's good because at least it will be deterrent to our hoarders.

01:14 The hoarders know that the government can intervene

01:17 and we have a supply of buffer stock.

01:20 At present, it is still being studied how much commodity

01:24 the government should imbuck.

01:26 The DA is also coordinating with the private sector

01:29 for warehouses and cold storage facilities that will supply.

01:34 Based on the initial implementing rules and regulations or IRR,

01:38 the buffer stocking will be done for a maximum of 10 days

01:41 of rice, corn, onions, pork and fertilizer.

01:46 The Department of Agriculture and Food Industry

01:50 sees the buffer stocking as problematic

01:53 because it will be directed to local producers.

01:56 It has a basic problem because the DA's lens is retail.

02:00 The DA's lens should be production, producer, farm kit price.

02:05 If you will just buffer and import,

02:08 you are not doing it to local producers, you are doing it to importers.

02:13 The market is also worried.

02:16 They hope that the price will be lowered.

02:19 If the stocking is lowered, we will be affected more when selling fresh

02:23 because the producers will choose the frozen ones

02:27 instead of fresh ones, especially the canteens.

02:30 The government's suggestion is...

02:32 Just remove the disconnect of the farm kit from the retail.

02:36 We can solve the high price.

02:39 Just minimize the disconnect of the farm kit from the retail.

02:46 The price will be lowered.

02:48 For GMA Integrated News, EJ Gomez is your witness.
