00:00For our fellow countrymen, it is possible that the price of eggs will continue to rise until Vermont.
00:06Meanwhile, the Agriculture Department is focusing on the initiative to produce rice in the country
00:13under the Masagana Rice Industry Development Program.

00:22Eggs are the cheapest source of protein.
00:26Not only is it delicious to eat, it is also used to make food during the holiday season,
00:32such as the all-time favorite Leche Flan and cakes.
00:36But before Vermont entered, the price of eggs was rising,
00:41just like Marisa's egg tray in the Commonwealth Market.
00:45When delivered, the price went up to Php 5.
00:47Last month, the average was Php 210.
00:50Now, it's Php 225.
00:53Now, it's time to drink.
00:57It's already Christmas.
00:59That's why the price is going up.
01:01In the price monitoring of the Department of Agriculture,
01:04each piece of egg went from Php 50 to Php 1.50.
01:10This month of August compared to last June.
01:13The smallest was Php 5.50.
01:16The jumbo size reached Php 10.
01:20The one that fits Christy's budget is extra small.
01:24It used to be big because of the price of eggs.
01:28So, I had to discard it.
01:30Instead of sunny-side up,
01:33what I do is scramble it so that it becomes bigger.
01:37According to the Philippine Egg Board Association,
01:40the price of eggs went up after the production of several layer farms decreased.
01:45The first quarter of the year was full of losses
01:48because of the oversupply of eggs.
01:51The price of rice used in patukas still went up.
01:54This is affecting us now because the demand has increased.
02:00Second, there is still a contribution in changing the time.
02:08The result of this is diseases in general.
02:12The result of this is a drop in production.
02:17According to FEBA, it is possible that the price of eggs will continue to increase.
02:22The price of medium-sized eggs is now 8.80 to Php 7.20 per piece.
02:34This is the price of December last year.
02:39Our worry is that this will be extended until December, the end of this year.
02:48But our industry is continuously repopulating.
02:52We are trying to catch up with the increase in demand towards December.
03:00We are trying to catch up with the lack of chicken supply.
03:06The group called on the DA to speed up the vaccine against bird flu.
03:12The department will help us.
03:14Just like the ASF vaccine, the FDA will help us to make sure that our vaccine is safe and effective.
03:26The DA is also focusing on lowering the price of rice
03:31with the help of the Masagana Rice Industry Development Program.
03:35Good quality rice will be provided,
03:38irrigation will be increased,
03:40and the planting season will be changed.
03:42This is one step away from more than 7 metric tons of rice per hectare.
03:48This is higher than the usual production of more than 4 metric tons.
03:54If successful, the production of rice in the Philippines can reach 25 million metric tons.
04:01The supply of rice will surely increase and the price will go down.
04:05This will be accompanied by the continuation of the P29 program,
04:09Rice for All program,
04:11and the arrival of imported rice with a lower price
04:15that will help to reach the price of rice.
04:19We are seeing 45 pesos in the market right now.
04:23There are also selling 42 pesos that we can see.
04:27If this continues and the imported rice will find its way to our retailers,
04:34it will have a significant impact in continuing to lower the price.
