00:00Some congressmen prioritized the implementation of the 58-peso maximum suggested retail price
00:06on imported premium rice.
00:07In the meantime, the possibility of declaring a food security emergency is also being looked at
00:12to lower the price of rice.
00:15Tina Panganiban Perez was on the scene.
00:20On January 25, the maximum suggested retail price of 58 pesos for each kilo of imported premium rice
00:29to lower the price of rice.
00:31But just now, the congressmen are already blowing the whistle.
00:36Why should we benchmark on imported?
00:40So, the price of domestic rice is getting more expensive.
00:47What we are saying is, give the domestic farmers an opportunity to earn decently
00:53so that they will keep on planting rice.
00:55How can we control the price of rice when the agency that is supposed to guide us
01:01is pegging it at a high price?
01:03There was a delay because the price of rice is already going down, right?
01:10If we are going to peg 58 pesos as the maximum suggested retail price,
01:15so even if I get it cheap, I will have 58 pesos.
01:20According to the Agriculture Department, they are monitoring rice that is more than 60 pesos per kilo.
01:26The maximum retail price is a kind of a number, a starting number to slowly lower.
01:39For example, the premium rice is already priced at 58, the most expensive.
01:48Of course, if the quality is lower, it will naturally go down.
01:54What we talked about there is, we will look for the peak,
01:58then we add around 8 to 12 pesos markup based on the imported landed cost.
02:06And then, that is the maximum that we should be able to see.
02:10The committee decided that the price of rice is high
02:13is because of the many layers in the supply chain that have their own price.
02:18So, it's almost 11 pesos already from the wholesale price.
02:23It needs to be shortened, the supply chain needs to be reduced to an added cost.
02:27In raising the value chain, yes, we agree that it will be down to the benefit of consumers.
02:36What else can be done to lower the price of rice?
02:40The National Price Coordinating Council met yesterday
02:44and we are looking at the possibility of declaring that there is an extraordinary increase in prices
02:53to allow the DA Secretary to declare a food security emergency.
02:59But, we're still working on the resolution.
03:01So, in principle, they are in agreement? Unanimously, I would presume?
03:08Yes, Mr. Chair.
03:09That there is an emergency situation?
03:13Yes, Mr. Chair.
03:14If the prices don't go down, then we will use Section 6 of the Price Act
03:22where there will be a price cap.
03:24And this time, we will be recommending to the President to put a price cap.
03:29Aside from that, the MSRP is also being considered for other types of rice.
03:34Is it possible, sir, that we set an MSRP for premium?
03:39We set an MSRP for well-milled?
03:43And we set an MSRP for regular?
03:45So that the price of rice will go down faster or more immediately, Mr. Chair?
03:52Yes, sir. That's being considered.
