00:00It is estimated that more than 50,000 hectares of rice in Batanes and Cagayan

00:05may be affected by the flood.

00:09Meanwhile, it is expected that tradable rice will increase in the world market.

00:15Now, India has lifted their exportation ban.

00:19Clay Zalpardilla is in the center of the news. Yes, Clay.

00:23Angelique, the Department of Agriculture assured that the rice supply is still sufficient

00:29and there is no reason for the price to rise in the face of a flood.

00:35Therefore, the DA Disaster Risk Reduction Office

00:38will provide 52,000 hectares of rice for the possibility of a flood

00:44in the provinces of Batanes and Cagayan Region.

00:48But the DA will clarify.

00:52We do not expect a sudden increase in the price of agricultural commodities,

01:00especially in the rice.

01:01Our supply is good, both local and imported.

01:06We have enough supply.

01:09The DA expected that tradable rice will increase in the world market.

01:14Angelique of India has already lifted the exportation ban

01:18for non-basmati rice such as Indica, which is commonly imported by the Philippines.

01:23The DA has a good effect.

01:2940% of the rice that is traded in the world is from India.

01:35So, if there is more volume that is traded, especially in rice,

01:41it will have an impact, not only here in the ASEAN region, but also in the whole world.

01:46It is impossible for it to go down.

01:49But some groups are worried about the effects of the rise in imported rice

01:55that was accompanied by bad weather, such as a storm.

02:02Our problem now is that the farmers are fasting,

02:07and imported rice is going down at the same time,

02:11because only 15 percent of the rice is traded, and it's raining.

02:16So it's a combination of all these factors, why the prices of rice are going down.

02:23There are areas that report 14 to 15 pesos per kilo.

02:28That's fresh.

02:30So that will be about 18 to 19 pesos, clean and dry.

02:34Compared to 25 to 27 pesos last season.

02:40If it's wet season, we have an expectation that it will go down a bit.

02:45But because the buying price of NFA is still high,

02:49and the price is going down,

02:53the price of buying NFA and traders is still good.

03:00Angelique, 420,000 metric tons of rice was destroyed due to the El Nino and the storms.

03:07But it still fits in the 600,000 metric tons of rice that was planted in agriculture.

03:13Meanwhile, the DA has already prepositioned the help to the regional offices of the agency

03:19that are ready to deploy for the farmers and fishermen

03:23so that they can recover quickly from the storms.

03:29That's the latest. Back to you, Angelique.

03:32Yes, Clay, what is the DA preparing for our farmers and fishermen

03:39who are affected by the storms?

03:43Yes, Angelique, first, the DA is warning that if their crops are matured

03:49or ready for harvesting,

03:51they will harvest earlier so that they can recover from the storms.

03:59Meanwhile, in the regional offices,

04:02the Agriculture Department has already prepared the seeds,

04:06fertilizers, and other farm inputs,

04:09such as pesticides,

04:12so that if there is a storm,

04:15our farmers and fishermen are ready to deploy

04:19so that they can start farming again.

04:23Aside from that, Angelique, the Agriculture Department has a shore loan

04:28where our farmers can borrow P25,000.

04:35Angelique?

04:36Okay, thank you very much, Clayzel Pardilla.
