00:00To our fellow countrymen, it is possible that the price of eggs will continue to rise until Bermond's.
00:07The Agriculture Department's main target is to accelerate the production of rice in the country
00:13under the Masagano Rice Industry Program.
00:16Clayzel Pardilia, for Central Ang Balita, live.
00:22Nayomi, one month before Bermond's, the price of eggs increased
00:27and it is possible that the price of eggs will continue to rise until December.
00:37Eggs are the cheapest source of protein.
00:40Not only is it delicious to eat in the morning,
00:42but it is also good for the production of food during the holiday season,
00:46just like the all-time favorites, leche flan and cakes.
00:51But before Bermond's and the holiday season,
00:54the price of eggs increased.
00:56In the price monitoring of the Department of Agriculture,
00:59the price of eggs increased from P50 to P1.50
01:05this month of August compared to June.
01:10The smallest and cheapest eggs are P5.50,
01:15while the jumbo-sized eggs are P10.00.
01:19According to the Philippine Egg Board Association,
01:22the production of several layer farms decreased
01:25after the first quarter of the year,
01:28due to the oversupply of eggs.
01:30The increase in rainfall and the increase in the price of corn
01:36used in farming is also affecting the production.
01:41And that is affecting us now because the demand has increased.
01:47Secondly, there is still a contribution from the changing times.
01:54The result of this is diseases in general.
01:58The result of that is the decrease in production.
02:05Possibly, the price of eggs will continue to increase.
02:11The price monitoring of medium-sized eggs is P6.80 to P7.20 per piece.
02:23This is the price in December last year,
02:29which is the highest recorded price.
02:33Right now, we are five months away from December this year.
02:39Our worry is that this will be extended until December,
02:46the end of this year.
02:48But our industry is continuously repopulating.
02:52We are chasing the increase in demand towards December.
03:01We are trying to catch up with the lack of chicken supply.
03:06The group is working with the Department of Agriculture
03:10to help them lower the price of chicken.
03:14The group also called the DA Bureau of Animal Industry
03:18and the Food and Drug Administration
03:20to speed up the production of vaccines against bird flu.
03:24After the interview with Agriculture Asek Arnel Demesa,
03:28the agency said that they are ready to help
03:33and they are already working with the FDA
03:36to have vaccines against bird flu,
03:39just like the initiative of the DA for vaccines for ASF.
03:45Meanwhile, in the face of the alleged decrease in the price of rice,
03:49the DA's target is to accelerate rice production
03:53under the Masagana Rice Industry Development Program.
03:57This will increase the supply of rice,
04:00lower the price,
04:02while increasing the income of farmers
04:05by providing good quality rice,
04:08widening irrigation,
04:10and adjusting the planting season.
04:12The rice production will increase by 7.5 metric tons
04:16per hectare,
04:18which is higher than the usual production of 3 to 5 hectares.
04:24If successful,
04:27the rice production in the country will reach 25 million metric tons.
04:32Now, the Masagana Rice Program
04:36is included in the National Rice Program of the DA
04:39with a fund of Php 30 billion.
04:43That's the latest from Quezon City.
04:46Back to you, Naomi.
04:48Thank you very much, Blaiselle Cordelia.
