last year

Mabilis naubos ang supply ng bigas na ibinebenta sa halagang P40 sa unang araw ng "Rice-for-All" program. Ang problema, marami ang umasa pero wala namang nabili dahil naubos kaagad ang suplay nito.

00:00The supply of rice is running out fast.

00:03It was sold for 40 pesos on the first day of the Rice for All program.

00:10The problem is, many people are hoping for it, but no one bought it because the supply is running out.

00:18Bernadette Reyes is right.

00:21More than an hour after opening, 40 pesos of rice was sold out this morning

00:29in Pasay City Public Market under the Rice for All program of the Department of Agriculture.

00:35It's a waste. It's running out.

00:38The other rice here is in the 50 plus.

00:41If I could reach it, I would have bought it, but it's gone.

00:46There are many people who want to buy rice.

00:51I ordered again because there are many people looking for it.

00:54It was also sold out in New Las Pinas Public Market and Malabon Central Market.

00:59That's just the turnaround time. That's what we need to improve.

01:04We have stocks. We have a lot of stocks.

01:06In Kamuning Market, aside from the Rice for All program,

01:09many rice retailers are also selling rice worth 40 pesos per kilo

01:14which is a big deal for the buyers.

01:16As long as there is a supply that can be given to them, they will be able to buy it.

01:21I am buying rice worth 58 pesos.

01:23This is a big deal.

01:2640 pesos.

01:27I am buying rice worth 58 pesos.

01:30I am also buying ricado, garlic, and onions.

01:34Retailers in Guadalupe Public Market are also sharing the cheap rice

01:38so that more customers can sell it.

01:41So that they can sell it faster.

01:42Of course, people are looking for rice worth 40 pesos.

01:46That's a big deal.

01:47But as more people are able to buy cheaper rice,

01:50retailers are affected by the fact that they cannot sell cheap rice

01:54because their income from the suppliers is high.

01:57The challenge for them is, of course, if the costumers reduce their income.

02:01And of course, there should be coordination.

02:04We also want to lower the price of rice.

02:09Eventually, we can further talk about what is the best thing to do.

02:15In the middle of the rapid sell-out of cheap rice,

02:18the DA said that it is not up to them to sell it at a higher price.

02:25As of now, the National Food Authority cannot sell rice under the Rice Tarification Law

02:32except during calamities or emergencies.

02:35Or before the rice is damaged or unfit for human consumption.

02:39This is what is being sold now in rice farmers' centers for 29 pesos per kilo.

02:45This is a big help for the old rice farmers.

02:50Now, the rice and rice in the warehouse is worth 5.389 million pesos.

02:57If we don't sell it on a regular basis, it will go down.

03:02At the same time, the negative effect is that we cannot buy rice from rice farmers

03:10because our warehouse is full.

03:13For GMA Integrated News, Bernadette Reyes, Nakatuto, 24 Hours.
