00:00Agriculture Department Secretary Francisco Chulaurel

00:05said that some smuggled products were stolen from him to be distributed to the country.

00:11Local producers were pleased with the addition of the DA

00:16to the other blacklisted companies involved in smuggling.

00:20Bernadette Reyes was shocked.

00:22The Department of Agriculture in Kalihim itself tried to blacklist the smuggled products.

00:33The Director of the Department of Agriculture, Secretary Francisco Chulaurel Jr., did not specify who was blacklisted.

00:39But it happened when a product was transferred to a condemnation facility

00:42to be destroyed.

00:46The blacklist was rejected because it was planned to be sold again.

00:51Initially, I calculated 250,000 per container, 20.

00:58Then it went up to 1 million per container.

01:01I just calculated it.

01:03The Department of Agriculture saw the mode of an importer of rice

01:08where only 20% of the total imported rice is declared to be imported to the country.

01:15The importer is doing this over and over again, so they canceled its import permit.

01:20In the past, when a ship arrived and only 20% of the rice was declared,

01:25we assumed that only 20% of the rice was unloaded.

01:29Then they would export the rest to other destinations.

01:32According to the Secretary of Agriculture, Francisco Chulaurel Jr.,

01:36there will be more blacklists under the campaign against smugglers

01:42that is happening in the country's economy.

01:44You will see in the next few months,

01:47I will blacklist a lot of smugglers, even my friends.

01:53I know what we're doing, we're just getting proof.

01:56The smugglers are destroying the industry

01:59by undercutting everybody because of illegal acts.

02:02In total, four companies, two of which are related to fish, one to sugar and one to rice,

02:07will be blacklisted by Secretary of Agriculture Chulaurel in the coming months.

02:13If a smuggler sells a product without paying the right amount,

02:17it can be sold at a lower price.

02:21According to local producers,

02:23blacklisting smugglers is a big help to the industry

02:26so that the products in the market are priced fairly.

02:30This is unfair practices.

02:33This is what is distorting the price in the market.

02:37Our legal or legitimate businessmen are really struggling

02:42and working and doing business properly

02:46and there are smugglers like this.

02:48If we don't have smugglers, the price is fair.

02:52It's fair to the mill gate, it's fair to our planter,

02:55but it's still fair to the consumer.

02:57It should not be abused.

03:00For the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources,

03:03smugglers are already facing a deeper problem.

03:07If smugglers do not meet the necessary regulatory requirements,

03:12aside from being affected by the price,

03:17the safety of the public is also at risk.

03:23For GMA Integrated News, Bernadette Reyes,

03:27for Tutok 24 Horas.

03:33.
