00:00The National Food Authority confirmed that there is a sufficient supply of rice despite the recent typhoon.

00:05At the same time, the agency also assured that the rice is enough for our countrymen who are affected by the typhoon.

00:12Ephraim Gaitos of PBS Radio Pilipinas News for Panbansa News.

00:19There is a sufficient supply of rice.

00:21This was confirmed by the National Food Authority or NFA

00:24after the typhoon Christine left its mark on various parts of the country.

00:28The agriculture sector is one of the areas affected by the typhoon

00:33which is now the reason for the concern of some of our countrymen

00:36that it may be the reason for the price of goods such as rice or its lack of supply.

00:42According to NFA Administrator Dr. Larry Lackson,

00:46the public should not be concerned because the rice supply of the country remains stable.

00:52Lackson also pointed out that the rice stocks of the NFA are in good condition

00:57despite the strong typhoon Christine.

01:00There was a typhoon.

01:01One day, there was a typhoon.

01:03There was a flood in one of the warehouses.

01:08So, it flooded.

01:09But the good thing about this is that our rice and paddy fields are in good condition.

01:14So, even though it flooded, only a few were damaged.

01:17Other than that, we did not monitor the damage to our stocks.

01:23The NFA continues to increase its purchase of rice

01:27so that the rice supply of the country remains stable at a good level.

01:32Despite the strong typhoon, we did not stop buying rice

01:37because we know that if we are going to plant rice,

01:39so that they can run later, even if they did an early harvest,

01:43they need to sell it right away.

01:45That's why we did not stop buying rice.

01:47Even though the classrooms and offices were suspended,

01:52the NFA continued to buy rice.

01:54We were able to open all of them.

01:56Lackson added that for now, the NFA's priority is to ensure

02:01that the rice supply reaches the areas affected by the typhoon Christine,

02:06particularly in the Bicol Region, Cagayan Valley, and Ilocos Region.

02:11Our commitment is to plant rice

02:13and at the same time, to release rice to areas affected by the typhoon.

02:19Especially in Bicol, we were able to release a lot of rice there.

02:21And in Isabela, we were able to release a lot of rice there.

02:25So our stock is sufficient.

02:28We continue to buy rice for the areas affected by the typhoon.

02:33The NFA is ready.
