00:00 The price of rice has increased in some families based on the monitoring of the Department of Agriculture.
00:06 According to the group of farmers, this is a possible effect of the speculation of some traders and importers on the movement of the price in the market.
00:14 Clayzel Pardilla has more.
00:16 Cherry's budget is almost full today because she is buying 40 pesos per kilo of rice.
00:27 I was surprised because it's already 45 pesos.
00:31 It's too heavy, ma'am. Of course, it's a waste of money.
00:34 We need to save money so that we can make a living.
00:39 In the price monitoring of the Department of Agriculture, the price of rice increased from 1 peso to 4 pesos per kilo in the main markets in Metro Manila.
00:50 Some retailers in Muñoz Market said that the price of rice is high in each sack.
00:57 If I can compare it to 2000, now it's 220 pesos.
01:02 The price of rice has increased. At first, it was not enough.
01:07 I was importing rice.
01:11 This food is also full of high prices of rice that allocates unlimited rice.
01:18 That's why they are discarding it to reduce the cost.
01:22 In our first serving, it's good as one serving.
01:25 Then, in our following serving, when they refill, we give them half or three-fourth of what we give.
01:33 So that we can save money. It's not a waste.
01:37 Speculation is the main reason for the rise in the price of rice according to the rice monitoring.
01:44 The increase in the local price of rice and importation is due to the price speculation.
01:55 It's been two days since the rice was stocked and at the same time, the statement of India that they will not export rice has been followed.
02:04 What is being dictated here are the millers, traders, and importers.
02:11 Aside from the price freeze that we are calling for, the government should already enter the aid to our farmers.
02:19 The government is eager to provide assistance to those in the midst of a super-storm.
02:26 The various types of aid are available for P239 million pesos.
02:32 We have prepositioned seed buffer stocks, rice and corn, which we will distribute to different regions.
02:39 The farmers will continue to provide for their damaged crops.
02:44 President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. once again emphasized that the supply of rice and buffer stock is sufficient.
02:51 There are also many diseases that are coming here in the Philippines.
02:56 What is happening here is that all the Southeast Asian countries are preparing for the El Niño.
03:02 That's why it's hard for everyone to buy at the same time to prepare for the arrival of the El Niño at the end of 2023 and the beginning of 2024.
03:14 The problem here is that the demand around the world is increasing.
03:19 President Marcos Jr. is already discussing with other countries about the possible importation of rice.
03:26 But the President clarified that
03:29 our farmers should expect that we will not import if the supply here in the Philippines is sufficient.
03:38 Don't worry, we have rice. We are just monitoring the price here in the Philippines and the price around the world.
03:49 Aside from focusing on the supply and price of the goods, the DA also ensures that the agricultural products in the market are safe.
03:58 Earlier, the DA inspected and enforced the 300 kilos of mishandled meat worth more than P100,000
04:09 together with the NMIS and Taytay Municipal Government in Taytay Public Market.
04:14 It's dangerous to the health because the mishandled meat that we saw in the market is already contaminated with pathogens, bacteria that can cause diseases.
04:37 The mishandled meat was given notice of violation by the owner and will be charged with violating the Meat Inspection Code that includes prison and fine.
04:47 Kalei Zalpar Lilia for the people!
04:51 Bye guys!
