00:00Many challenges are being faced by various government agencies in the past 100 years,

00:05particularly the agriculture sector.

00:08What should we expect from the agriculture sector in 2025?

00:15Alan Francisco of PTV in Balitang Pambansa.

00:21In the midst of calamities that hit the country this 2024,

00:25the Department of Agriculture worked hard to help the farmers and fishermen of the Philippines.

00:35There were 17 typhoons and we haven't mentioned El Niño and La Niña.

00:40So in 2024, the production of our agriculture decreased.

00:47We were affected by many typhoons and droughts.

00:51Our production decreased by 2.2%.

00:55But despite this, the Department of Agriculture was early

01:00to meet the needs of our farmers and fishermen.

01:04At the start of 2025,

01:07Mike Abilive, Agriculture Assistant Secretary, Joicel Panlilio, said

01:13that they will not stop their efforts in the agriculture sector.

01:17This is part of the directive from President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.

01:21to continue to provide sufficient food for the Filipinos.

01:26I can say that we will succeed.

01:28We have launched many programs.

01:30All of our programs or the interventions

01:34to ensure that there is sufficient food for every Filipino.

01:40The President said that there will be no hungry Filipinos.

01:44So to ensure that there is sufficient food,

01:48we will continue to provide interventions to our farmers and fishermen.

01:52And we ensure that we have sufficient supply.

01:56Sometimes, our staple food is rice.

02:00This is the most important.

02:01We have launched Rice For All.

02:04It's only P40 per kilo.

02:06In January 2025, they will launch Sulit Rice and Nutri Rice.

02:12The price of Sulit Rice

02:14is around P35 or P36 per kilo.

02:18And the quality is also good.

02:20They will continue to teach the farmers

02:22about the importance of post-harvest programs

02:25so that the agricultural products will not be damaged

02:28even if they produce a lot.

02:31This also includes increasing the number of fish.

02:35The fight against African Swine Fever is also ongoing.

02:38The affected are 6,058 barangays.

02:42But as of now, there are only 365 barangays

02:46as of our data on December 6, 2024.

02:52So it has been reduced.

02:53It means that what the Department of Agriculture is doing is becoming effective.

02:59And we have already received vaccines.

03:02Because of the pandemic,

03:04they also did not stop in other programs

03:07like irrigation,

03:08fattening,

03:09lending to farmers and fishermen,

03:11and many more.

03:12We have a new amended law,

03:16the Agricultural Tarification Act.

03:18Yes, that's correct.

03:19For our rice farmers,

03:22before, our allocation was P10 billion per year.

03:26Now, it has become P30 billion.

03:28Wow, it tripled.

03:30P30 billion.

03:31Yes.

03:31The purpose of this P30 billion,

03:34the use of this is P9 billion for machinery.

03:38So since our equipment will be more modern,

03:42for rice farmers,

03:44our production will increase.
