00:00The Agriculture Department is ready to issue a heavier fine against the importers who sell the imported rice to the government.

00:10Meanwhile, the rice supply during the calamity was shut down.

00:14This is what Clayzel Pardilla reported.

00:17It is possible that the Department of Agriculture blacklisted the importers who sell and abandon the imported rice to the government.

00:28According to Agriculture Secretary Francisco T. Laurel Jr., this will serve as a warning against the importers.

00:37The Philippine Ports Authority is warning that several consignees are trying to get the rice to the government

00:45and are waiting for the price of the rice to go up before taking it out.

00:50Definitely, the importers should be blacklisted.

00:55But of course, we have to really go look at what happened so that we can really see it.

01:01The National Food Authority assured that there is a sufficient supply of rice during an emergency or calamity.

01:08More than 3 million sacks of rice were placed in the inventory of the consignees.

01:16There is no need to worry. We are very secure.

01:20The NFA assured that the importers will buy the rice at a reasonable price in front of a report that some places in the Philippines have experienced a decrease in the price of rice.

01:32The procurement price for wet rice is P17 to P23. P23 to P30 for dry rice.

01:40If the price of rice goes down, we know that we will price it better so that we can raise the price and our farmers won't suffer.

01:51Some groups of farmers are worried about the effect of the arrival of imported rice that may cause the price of rice to go down.

02:01If you import a lot of rice locally and you also import cheap rice because you lower the tariff, the result is oversupply.

02:12The supply in the market is too high. The price of rice will go down even more.

02:18The only reason why our price is going down now is because we are really lacking in post-harvest facilities.

02:28That's why when it rains, the rice is wet.

02:32That's where traders can take advantage of lowering their prices, not importation.

02:38Because the amount of importation that we monitor is just enough for the lack of our production.

02:47The NFA has postponed the distribution of rice processing facilities to farm cooperatives.

02:53While the NFA is free to borrow their drying facility so that the farmers can dry their rice.
