00:00 The price of rice in the Blue Man Treats Market in Manila has increased.
00:04 How much is it now?
00:05 Let's find out the price of each kilo in the first news live of James Salisbury.
00:09 James, how much is it now?
00:12 Maris, good morning.
00:17 Three pesos per kilo was increased by the local commercial rice while four pesos was increased by the imported rice.
00:24 This is in some stores in the Blue Man Treats Market in Manila.
00:27 Maris, there are two discounts for the businessmen I talked to, just like the owners of the street vendors.
00:33 First, some of them are increasing the price while some are decreasing the price of the rice they are selling.
00:41 Even if the price of the commercial rice was increased,
00:47 the price of one order of rice was still 10 pesos,
00:50 Ms. Elda, in her street vendor.
00:52 This is what her customers can do.
00:55 The price was decreased but the price was still 10 pesos.
00:59 We did not increase the price.
01:00 Why did you not increase the price?
01:01 They are used to the 10 pesos price.
01:04 It's hard to sell, especially now.
01:07 There are a lot of people who are saving money.
01:13 It's almost over.
01:15 Chris, who sells breakfast in Santa Cruz, we managed to buy six kilos of rice.
01:20 He also did not increase the price.
01:22 I just decreased the price of the rice in the cup.
01:25 But the price is still the same, just 10 pesos.
01:29 Because there is no customer.
01:32 Because the rice I sell is for the saleslady.
01:38 So it's still the same price.
01:43 But Ms. Annabel, each cup of rice in Tondo is now sold for 12 pesos,
01:48 from the previous 10 pesos. She also has a discount on rice.
01:52 For our rice to be delicious, it's easier to cook the rice.
01:57 So I put coconut on it so it's more delicious.
02:02 Because if it's just cooked, the taste of the rice is rich.
02:07 In some places in the Blue Man Trade Market in Manila,
02:10 45 pesos per kilo is the cheapest well-milled rice.
02:13 Premium rice is priced at 49 to 52 pesos.
02:17 Special rice is priced at 52 to 57 pesos.
02:21 Imported rice also increased, from Vietnam and Thailand,
02:25 to 53 to 58 pesos per kilo.
02:28 The seller said that since August,
02:31 three pesos per kilo of local commercial rice has been sold,
02:35 while four pesos for imported rice.
02:37 Our supplier said that our imports are not enough.
02:42 Because of the flood and the flood.
02:47 The imported rice also increased?
02:50 Yes, it increased almost every day.
02:53 Why?
02:54 Because our supplies are not enough.
02:57 According to the Federation of Free Farmers Cooperative,
03:00 there could be problems with the supply of rice in September.
03:03 It's also possible that 60 pesos or more per kilo of rice will be sold.
03:08 As of now, the price of rice is reaching 34 pesos.
03:12 If this happens, the businessmen will have nothing to do,
03:15 and the price will also increase.
03:17 Almost every other day, the price of rice increases by four.
03:22 How do you sell it?
03:25 We just extend our price, two pesos.
03:31 Just to earn?
03:32 Yes, just to earn.
03:33 If that happens, we will add more.
03:37 We will not reduce it if it becomes 60.
03:40 I will increase it.
03:42 It will be 15 pesos if the price of rice really increases.
03:45 But President Bongbong Marcos is sure that there is enough rice supply until next year.
03:51 Meanwhile, Maris, here in this particular store, here in the Bloomentreet Market,
03:59 the cheapest rice is 45 pesos per kilo,
04:03 but the most profitable for the farmers and the businessmen is 47 pesos per kilo of rice.
04:11 This is also the discounted price, especially for the owners of the store.
04:15 That's all for the first news.
