00:00Because of the extraordinary increase in the price of rice,

00:04and not because of the lack of supply,

00:06that's why the Food Security Emergency declared on rice.

00:09That's what the Department of Agriculture clarified this morning,

00:12following the declaration yesterday of the Food Security Emergency.

00:16Under the Visa of the Department Circular No. 3, Series of 2025,

00:20the DA is ordering the National Food Authority

00:24to release its buffer stock of rice.

00:26It will be sold to local governments and government agencies.

00:30150,000 metric tons of rice has been released by the NFA

00:35within 6 months, but it is still possible to change

00:39depending on the duration of the implementation of the Food Security Emergency.

00:44At the press conference of the DA earlier,

00:46it was said that the NFA's buffer stock will be sold to LGUs

00:50for P33 per kilo,

00:53which is expected to be sold to the public for P35 per kilo.

00:57The NFA is still waiting for the answer of LGUs who want to buy rice.

01:02It still depends on how much will be the monthly allocation in each place.

01:10Let's take a look at the update regarding the declaration

01:12by the Department of Agriculture of the Food Security Emergency for rice.

01:16That's in detail on the spot by Bernadette Reyes.

01:19Bernadette?

01:24Connie, in the next few days or weeks,

01:27rice will be available to the families

01:30that will be released by the National Food Authority.

01:33Now, the Department of Agriculture has declared

01:36the Food Security Emergency for rice.

01:41Rice will be sold to LGUs, GOCs, and government agencies

01:45for P33 per kilo.

01:48It will be sold for P35 per kilo to consumers

01:52from the initial target of selling to consumers for P38 per kilo.

01:57The NFA is still waiting for the answer of LGUs who want to buy rice.

02:02According to the price,

02:04the NFA will have losses of P12 to P15 per kilo.

02:09But it will pave the way for the NFA to buy rice

02:13from farmers starting the harvest season.

02:17150,000 metric tons of rice will be released by the NFA

02:21within six months.

02:23But it is still possible for it to change

02:25depending on the duration of the implementation

02:27of the Food Security Emergency.

02:29According to the NFA, the price will be monitored

02:32and if the price will be lowered to the families,

02:35it will be discussed whether to lift or withdraw the declaration.

02:40But according to the Federation of Free Farmers Cooperative or FFF,

02:43to many farmers in the country,

02:45this has a negative effect on the farmers

02:47because they may lose money.

02:49If P35 per kilo will be sold to the market,

02:52it is equivalent to P17 to P18 per kilo for rice.

02:56The NFA's loss is also big

02:58because the rice was bought expensively

03:00but it will be sold cheaply.

03:02Connie, starting tomorrow,

03:04the maximum suggested retail price

03:07for 5% broken imported rice will be lowered

03:10to P55 per kilo.

03:12Meanwhile, by February 15,

03:14the implementation of the maximum suggested retail price

03:17will be carried out nationwide.

03:20Thank you very much, Bernadette Reyes.
