00:05 The price of rice per kilo of their family is now reaching P75 in Bicol.

00:10 According to some groups, the Department of Agriculture's solution

00:16 to lower the price of rice is not a good one.

00:18 This is the news of Bernadette Reyes.

00:20 The price of rice in Nagas City is now P67.

00:25 But according to the group Bantay Bigas, rice is now reaching P75 per kilo in other places in Bicol.

00:33 P60 is the lowest.

00:35 In Mindoro, a rice-producing province, P58 to P60 per kilo of rice.

00:41 The government always says that there is a stock, our production is increasing,

00:45 but the price of rice is still very high.

00:49 We expect that it will go down because our production is increasing.

00:54 We have importation.

00:56 In this store in Quezon City, the price of rice is now P60.

01:01 It's hard because before, if we buy just P1,000, it becomes P1,300.

01:09 According to Bantay Bigas, the Department of Agriculture's solution

01:14 to lower the price of rice is not a good one.

01:18 When it's built, they will fix the post-harvest facilities, they will fix the storage.

01:25 They are already doing that.

01:26 They are not rooting out the reason why we are continuously running out of food.

01:33 The Department of Agriculture said that the government is trying to help farmers

01:38 by providing rice, water and machinery to increase the production of rice.

01:45 Last year, the Philippines recorded more than 20 million metric tons of rice.

01:51 Imported rice is expensive, P600 to P700.

01:55 The mandate of the DA is really to have more productivity in our farms,

02:01 to increase the local production of rice.

02:04 According to the Department of Agriculture, because of the effect of El Niño,

02:08 the production of rice could go down this year.

02:11 But the government is working on ways to provide sufficient rice supply to the country.

02:17 We're talking with Vietnam for the five-year framework agreement.

02:21 But we are also diversifying the sources of rice beyond Vietnam and our neighbors.

02:29 Even cancer beans that are considered to be good for food are now expensive.

02:33 DTI has already approved P2 or more for some brands.

02:38 DTI, a well-known can sardines manufacturer, plans to launch Pinoy sardines

02:44 or an alternative for those who want to buy.

02:47 At present, it is available in bread.

02:50 That's why we have Pinoy Tasty and Pinoy Pandesal.

02:54 But at the expense of the Can Sardines Association of the Philippines,

02:57 it will take a few more months before it is launched.

02:59 But now, they are already looking for ways to lower the price of the Pinoy sardines.

03:06 We may be looking for new sources of tomato paste.

03:10 We also want to work on vegetables, our spicing and flavoring items from agricultural products like rice, pepper, etc.
