Transcript
00:00The NFA Council has approved the sale of rice stocks for P29.
00:06We will talk about this with Sir Larry Lacson,
00:11Acting Administrator of the National Food Authority.
00:14Admin Lacson, good afternoon.
00:21First of all, sir, what pushed the NFA Council
00:25to sell rice buffer stocks for P29?
00:29And how many metric tons of rice buffer stocks can be sold?
00:35The reason why the NFA Council approved the sale of P29 per kg
00:42is because these are our aging stocks
00:46so that we can have cheaper rice for our farmers.
00:53This will be distributed or sold to four-piece recipients,
01:01solo parents, senior citizens, PWD.
01:08They will be the first to avail this.
01:14Right now, our aging stocks are around 10,000 tons.
01:23That's not a lot.
01:25This is just the beginning of the P29 rice project.
01:32It will be spearheaded by the Department of Agriculture.
01:38Admin Lacson, you mentioned earlier
01:40that the four-piece beneficiaries will be the first to benefit.
01:44Aside from them, who else?
01:46And where can they buy this P29 per kg of rice?
01:53Initially, this is in Kadiwa Centers.
01:57There are determined Kadiwa Centers within Metro Manila.
02:01The exact location is determined by the Department of Agriculture.
02:09It is also open for some other LGUs to participate in this program.
02:18For everyone's information,
02:20why is the price higher compared to the previous P25 per kg?
02:28Okay. This is how it is.
02:30The P25 per kg will be subjected to change anytime soon.
02:37It's just a bit late.
02:39But now, it's possible to increase it.
02:44We increased the buying price of rice.
02:48Naturally, we will calibrate it and increase it.
02:52Anytime, it will increase to balance it.
02:56That's the sense of our pricing now.
02:59It's just a bit late.
03:02Admin, based on your assessment,
03:04how is the quality of these rice buffer stocks?
03:16Okay.
03:17Admin, based on your assessment,
03:19how is the quality of these rice buffer stocks?
03:25Okay.
03:26We regularly check the quality of our buffer stocks,
03:32whether it's aging or the regular stocks.
03:34We do testing.
03:37Everything that we release for that particular project
03:42are good and fit for human consumption.
03:45We don't have to worry about that.
03:49Sir, how can we secure the supply of rice
03:53for this initiative?
03:58How can we secure the supply of rice for this initiative?
04:02How can we secure the supply of rice for this initiative?
04:17Administrator?
04:18Hello?
04:19Sir?
04:21Sorry, I'm on the road.
04:24I can't hear you.
04:27I'll repeat it, sir.
04:29Is our line better now?
04:33Can you hear me?
04:37Our buffer stock is better now.
04:40We know that we were able to buy a lot of rice.
04:44We hit our target for the first half.
04:47We are still able to buy rice.
04:49We are still able to buy rice.
04:53We are ready for the upcoming rainy season.
04:58The requirement of the DSWD and other release agencies
05:03is being adjusted.
05:05We are also preparing for the incoming harvest of wet season.
05:13Admin, we are also waiting for those who will benefit
05:18from the 29 pesos per kilo of rice.
05:21When do you expect its availability in the market?
05:25The target of the Department of Agriculture
05:28is in the next month.
05:30There will be pilot selling in the surrounding areas
05:35in Metro Manila.
05:37Okay.
05:38Before we say goodbye,
05:40do you have a message for our countrymen?
05:45For the NFA,
05:49your NFA is continuing to fulfill its duty
05:53in buffer stocking.
05:55We have nothing to worry about.
05:57Even if there will be a lot of rain and typhoons,
06:02our buffer stock is enough for the Filipino people.
06:06Thank you very much for your time,
06:09Director Larry Lacson, Acting Administrator of the National Food Authority.
