00:00The Philippine Ports Authority was shocked by the statement of the Agriculture Department
00:05that the imports of rice are congested, which is why the output is slow.
00:11But the PPA also admitted that there are some consignees who hoard rice in their homes
00:16while waiting for the price to rise in the market.
00:20Clayzel Pardilla is back.
00:24The slow price of rice is one of the reasons, said the Department of Agriculture.
00:32There's port congestion, then there's delays. Port congestion, unloading is slow.
00:38The Philippine Ports Authority admitted that.
00:41We don't have port congestion. It's been a long time since we don't have port congestion.
00:47Utilization rates in Manila International Container Port and Manila South Harbor are only 70%.
00:53But the PPA admitted that there are 888 containers in the ports
01:00that contain almost half a million bags of rice.
01:04That's equivalent to 24 million kilos of imported rice.
01:10Most of the people here pay their taxes.
01:14But some consignees try to stop them from going out.
01:20You can call this hoarding. It's just that the location is different.
01:24We have containers here that haven't been taken out for almost a month.
01:33And there are others here that have been here for 275 days
01:40that haven't been taken out for release.
01:42Most of the consignees here are just waiting for the price of rice to rise in the market
01:49before they go out.
01:51The first five days of containers in the PPA are free.
01:54In the PPA, a single container costs P700.
01:58The fine is P5,000 if it exceeds 10 days.
02:02The consignees here are more patient inside the port than outside.
02:06Because it's still cheaper, even if there's a fixed storage fee.
02:10It's still cheaper to pay for storage inside the port
02:14than to bring it to their private warehouse.
02:17In order to force the shipment out,
02:20the PPA plans to double the fine for shipments with rice
02:25that will be taken out of their containers five days after their documents are complete.
02:31The name of the consignee who is overstaying the shipment will also be released.
02:37The PPA has already reached out to the Agriculture Department.
02:41Maybe in the future, when they give a permit to import,
02:46they should also require the consignees to pull out.
02:51The moment the customs are released,
02:54it should be within five days at a maximum
02:57so that it can be distributed to the market
03:00and the price of rice stabilizes and goes down.
03:04In a statement, Secretary Q. Laurel Jr. thanked the PPA for the quick information.
03:11The agency recognizes the potential issue of hoarding of imported rice in the Philippines.
03:17The PPA urges the PPA to speed up the movement of imported rice in the market
03:23so that the supply of rice can increase and the price can go down.
03:27The announcement that imported rice will be exported
03:30is a concern for food security.
