00:00The National Food Authority or NFA will now allow the sale of these rice bags

00:05when the Food Security Emergency is declared in rice.

00:08This is the target declared by the Agriculture Department on Tuesday.

00:12Witness, Bernadette Reyes.

00:14Yesterday, the Department of Agriculture received the resolution

00:21from the National Price Coordinating Council

00:24that is pushing for the declaration of the Food Security Emergency.

00:27Under this, the National Food Authority will be able to sell the rice

00:31that is in a box in their warehouses.

00:34That is why the DA said that it is also possible that on Tuesday, February 4,

00:37the Food Security Emergency will be declared in rice.

00:40That is very welcome because the contents of the warehouses will be reduced

00:44and our farmers will be happy that they can buy the NFA of rice from now

00:51because there is a storage.

00:52And releasing 300,000 tons of rice to the market within six months,

00:57I think will soften the market and hopefully, the price of rice will go down a bit.

01:02Some retailers were enraged.

01:04They hope that they can also sell rice from the NFA.

01:07That is a big help, ma'am.

01:09The customer will also benefit.

01:11If you don't have rice, you can buy it.

01:13So that you can also earn money for food.

01:16In various agencies and local governments,

01:19NFA is allowed to sell their rice for P36 per kilo.

01:24It will be transferred to buyers for P38 per kilo.

01:28Next week, the sale of rice will be launched

01:33in grocery, supermarket, and convenience stores.

01:36P29 per kilo of rice will be sold under the P29 program,

01:40Solid Rice and Rice for All.

01:42It is normal for the DA to have an agreement

01:44with a supermarket grocery chain

01:46to sell P29 per kilo of rice.

01:49Despite the price of rice going down,

01:51the Department of Agriculture is worried

01:54that the price of eggs might go up

01:56by the end of April

01:57due to the possible shortage of supply.

02:00The DA explained that many people

02:02stopped breeding chicken eggs last year

02:05when the farm gate price of eggs went down.

02:08In the monitoring of the DA,

02:09the usual size of eggs varies from P7 to P9 per piece.

02:14But according to the Philippine Egg Board Association,

02:17they don't see any problem with the supply of eggs,

02:20except if there is a bird flu outbreak.

02:23Our projection this year is that

02:26we have an expected oversupply

02:28in the production of eggs.

02:30The parent stock that arrived last year

02:33will now start to be productive.

02:36If there is an outbreak,

02:37we will have a problem with the supply of eggs.
