00:00 A group is worried about the possible high price of rice due to the effect of El Niño.
00:05 But the Department of Agriculture said that rice supply will increase because the harvest has already started.
00:11 Maki Polido is on the scene.
00:12 50 pesos per kilo is the cheapest rice in the Commonwealth Market.
00:20 This is not a whole bottle, so it's of a low class.
00:23 The imported is cheaper because the local rice is from 55 to 58 per kilo.
00:28 We asked the people who deliver rice to us.
00:31 They said that they won't harvest rice because there's no water.
00:35 The crops are dry, so they won't be able to harvest rice from the local rice.
00:40 The Department of Agriculture is not worried about the dryness of the rice brought by El Niño.
00:45 Aside from the fact that there's enough water, the supply will increase because the harvest has already started.
00:49 Like in Lauag, Ilocos Norte, where the farmers are busy harvesting rice.
00:55 I'm worried because the price of rice is increasing.
01:00 They are worried, especially because the farm gate price of rice is expected to continue to fall.
01:05 In the monitoring of the Sinag group, the price of rice has already dropped from 25 to 27 pesos
01:10 to 28 to 30 pesos per kilo.
01:13 Because it's just a small price, it will be felt in the markets in the next month.
01:18 Because it's a large area, it doesn't have a big effect.
01:25 We can't meet our production last year at 20.06 million metric tons.
01:32 We can still exceed that.
01:34 Sinag said that if El Niño's supply of rice is affected,
01:38 the price of rice could fall again in the next few months.
01:42 So far, we monitored some farmlands in Nueva Ecija, Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, and even Bulacan.
01:53 If it's not affected, the drop in production will be significant.
01:58 Eggs are cheap.
02:01 From P7.50 to P9.00 before, it's now playing at P4.00 to P7.00.
02:05 It will go down until April because there are a lot of eggs.
02:11 Vegetable vendors say that the price of onions has also dropped from P1.60 to P1.80 per kilo.
02:18 Tomatoes and calamansi prices suddenly rose.
02:21 Each kilo of tomatoes is now P120 to P140 from P60 to P80.
02:27 Calamansi is now P80 per kilo from P40 to P50.
02:31 Even though some people love it and some people are cheap,
02:34 in the middle, Ana Lisa still has a problem with her six children
02:37 with how to fit the budget.
02:40 What's also difficult is that some products suddenly rose in price.
02:44 Yesterday, it was cheap. Why did it rise now?
02:48 Don't suddenly raise the price.
02:51 Sometimes, we are not prepared.
02:53 For GMA Integrated News, Macky Pulido, for Tutok, 24 Hours.
