00:00Four-piece beneficiaries, single parents, single mothers, and the elderly
00:05are allowed to buy cheap rice from Kaniwa Stores.
00:09That's why the Department of Agriculture is now studying the conditions for its sale.
00:15Details in the report of Clayzel Pardilla.
00:21It's heavy for a single mother, single parent, and a child with a child with a sperm,
00:26the high price of rice.
00:29That's why she's happy that the previous 60 pesos of rice she bought,
00:33she only got 29 pesos per kilo from Kaniwa Stores in the Department of Agriculture.
00:39What do you save for rice? What do you use it for?
00:43I use it for other needs in the kitchen, like cooking oil and sugar.
00:52It's for my grandchild.
00:54For maintenance?
00:55Yes, for maintenance.
00:57But there are restrictions for single mothers, single parents, single mothers, and the elderly.
01:05Only four-piece beneficiaries can buy cheap rice from Kaniwa Stores.
01:11For example, we went to the store and they said it's not four-piece.
01:14We don't allow that.
01:17Because that's the important order.
01:21Of course, their purchasing power is weaker.
01:24From 5 kilos, they reduced it to 3 kilos of rice.
01:29The DA explained.
01:31The mechanics on how it will be given is still under study.
01:35It's still being studied.
01:37The number of kilos that will be given to them is still part of the study, how much.
01:43So what about people like Geraldine?
01:46She has no income and is not a member of the four-piece, but she feels the high price of rice.
01:52It's still being studied.
01:54So, of course, we are looking for products that we can buy at a low price.
02:01Under the Contract Growing Program of the National Irrigation Administration,
02:06farmers are being given assistance in exchange for selling cheap rice to the agency.
02:11It is expected that 4 million sacks of rice will be obtained in August
02:17and will be sold for P29 per kilo.
02:21We will follow the guidelines of the DA.
02:24But for us, there are a lot of 4 million.
02:26For us, here in the Kadiwa Center, if we give it to the areas,
02:33per family, we should be able to get one sack, even if it's hard or not.
02:40The DA's goal is to be able to buy more rice
02:44even if the imported rice is at a lower price.
02:49The target of lowering the price because of the tariff,
02:53the target is the general public.
02:56So the price will be lower.
02:58According to the first evaluation of the PSA, it will be lowered by P6 to P7.
03:03So that will have a big effect on inflation.
03:05Aside from lowering the price,
03:08the DA is aiming to increase the production of rice
03:12in front of Bantanang Laninya.
03:14It will use modern farming equipment
03:18and will conduct studies on pests that are harmful to crops.
03:24Cold storage facilities will also be built
03:28to store excess supplies and to be used in times of drought.
