00:00 The price of vegetables and rice is also affected by the typhoons.
00:04 But even in the last import, there is a problem because the rice supply is shrinking in other countries.
00:10 Sandra Aguinaldo was able to report.
00:12 In the aftermath of the Egy and Habagat typhoons,
00:17 the crops of rice and vegetables were severely affected, especially in the Luzon, even the fishing sector.
00:24 The price of rice and vegetables is one and a half billion pesos according to the Agriculture Department,
00:30 particularly in the Cordillera Administrative Region, Ilocos Region, Cagayan Valley, Central Luzon, Calabarzon, Mimaropa, Western Visayas and Caraga.
00:40 More than 99,000 farmers and fishermen are affected.
00:44 The farm of Yolanda Cortez in San Rafael, Bulacan was affected by the typhoons.
00:49 That's why she only brought a few grains to the market.
00:53 As a result, many types of vegetables in the market became expensive.
00:57 In the strong August, they joined the August of water.
01:01 The palm trees also joined the water.
01:05 In the Holiana Market in Quezon City, for example,
01:08 the price of some harvested vegetables from the north rose almost twice to more than twice.
01:14 Because they will plant again, they will wait for two to three months for those affected to reappear.
01:22 Many rice farms were also damaged.
01:25 Even now, El Nino is being prepared.
01:27 That's why the President and Agriculture Secretary said,
01:30 "This is hard because of the rice.
01:35 I'm already thinking about our supply if El Nino really exists.
01:40 We will import again."
01:45 The National Food Authority or NFA has a stock of rice but it's for the need when there is calamity.
01:51 The NFA cannot sell rice under the Rice Tarification Law.
01:56 The NFA, which is the main buffer stock holder of the government,
02:04 is only 1,021,000 bags of rice.
02:10 If you base it on that, it will be low.
02:15 Actually, the whole stock of the country is quite limited now.
02:21 Not only the NFA stock is lacking, but also the total stock is quite thin.
02:28 And I heard that some of the suppliers abroad are reneging on their contracts
02:35 because they booked the contracts at a low price.
02:38 In the Caboning Market, the cheapest kilo of imported rice is P43.
02:43 The local price is P45.
