00:40 There may be a shortage of rice,
00:44 especially if the lean months are in full swing,

01:16 A large part of our country, especially our rice granaries,
01:21 is not affected because our water is still good.
01:25 The rice in the first three months of the year is decreasing by 100,000 metric tons.
