00:00Farmers are worried about their income in 2025.

00:06This is followed by an announcement by the Agriculture Department

00:09that rice will be cheaper in January.

00:12This is what Sandra Aguinaldo is talking about.

00:17If the rice is 52 now, it should be 48 by January.

00:23If the rice is 50 now, it should be 45 by January.

00:26These are my estimates.

00:28This is an announcement by the Department of Agriculture

00:31that rice will be cheaper in January.

00:36We have a lot of stocks.

00:38The stocks that were imported and bought expensively are running out.

00:41But the problem is,

00:43we bought a lot of local rice

00:46at a very high price of Php 30 per kilo

00:50from January to June of this year.

00:53We still have a lot of stocks.

00:54So, I think it will run out by November.

00:59According to the Department of Agriculture,

01:02the price of rice is nearing

01:04from the end of October to December.

01:06This coming rice is about 8 to 9 million metric tons.

01:14Hopefully, we will reach a higher price

01:17if we buy rice for Php 23.

01:22That's when the price of rice will drop by January.

01:27This is also the belief of the Federation of Free Farmers.

01:31The question is, will the price of rice remain low?

01:35Our rice has already arrived.

01:37So, even without the tariff cuts,

01:40the prices will naturally go down.

01:43We don't see any reason why the DA is so obsessed

01:50with bringing down the prices of rice

01:53when they are not the ones pushing it.

01:56The next question is,

01:58how about after January?

02:00Will the price of rice remain low?

02:02But if good news for those who are choosing to lower the price of rice,

02:07the DA announced that he expects to reduce the income of Filipino farmers

02:11in the near future.

02:13Millers and traders should buy lower-priced rice.

02:18So that they can get the Php 7.

02:23Now, traders are buying rice from farmers because it's harvest time.

02:28So what's happening now is that they are lowering the price of rice

02:32so that they can be sure that when October or November comes,

02:36they will still earn.

02:37In Pauay, Ilocos Norte,

02:39some farmers are already saddened by the GMA Integrated News.

02:44We are having a hard time farming.

02:46The rice we are buying is expensive.

02:51According to the data collected by GMA Integrated News Research,

02:55the price of imported regular milled rice went up to Php 5,

02:59while the price of well-milled rice went up to Php 3.71

03:03since the price of imported rice went down.

03:06But the local regular milled rice only went down by Php 72

03:11and the well-milled rice went down by Php 53.

03:14Kapwa was insisted by the Sinag and Federation of Free Farmers

03:17that it was not the Executive Order 62

03:20that lowered the rice tariff

03:22on imported rice that should be compensated for the price drop.

03:27The EO should have lost its visa.

03:30According to the FFF,

03:32since President Marcos signed the EO 62 in June,

03:36the price did not go down

03:38on imported rice with a lower tariff.

03:42Instead, rice importers are earning Php 5 billion,

03:47said Montemayor.

03:48If the cheap imports are still included because of the tariff cuts,

03:52it's like an overkill.

03:54The importers who were saved from the tariff cuts

03:58are playing for Php 6 per kilo.

04:01We asked Malacanang and the Department of Agriculture for a reaction.

04:06For GMA Integrated News,

04:08Sandra Aguinaldo, Katutok, 24 Hours.
