00:00This year, the Department of Agriculture's Nutri-Rice is worth talking to Assistant Secretary Arnel De Mesa,

00:10the spokesperson of the Department of Agriculture.

00:13Asek De Mesa, Happy New Year to you.

00:18Happy New Year to you too. Happy New Year to everyone.

00:22Asek, as we enter this year, we expect a cheaper and better quality of rice from your production.

00:30Can you please explain what types of rice are worth and what is the difference between this and Nutri-Rice?

00:44Asek De Mesa?

00:46Yes, we will launch this year, this is the Solid Rice and Nutri-Rice.

00:56We call it Rice for All for our fellowmen and their families and stations.

01:04This started in the National Capital Region and this year, we will spread it to other parts of the country.

01:13This Solid Rice is worth P35 to P36 per kilo and this is what we call 100% broken rice.

01:23The quality is still good, the only difference is that this rice is broken.

01:30We tried to cook it here in the office and the quality of this rice is good.

01:38As for Nutri-Rice, this is what we call well-milled and brown rice.

01:46There are still a lot of nutrients left, this is what we call one-past.

01:51Nutri-Rice is still big, that's why we call it Nutri-Rice.

02:01There are still a lot of fiber, vitamins and minerals.

02:05This will be sold for P37 to P38 per kilo.

02:12We expect that this Solid Rice and Nutri-Rice will be sold in Kadiwa Centers, fellowmen and stations in January.

02:25You mentioned that this is expected to be available in Kadiwa, Pangulo Stores.

02:35When are we expecting this rice?

02:40That's right, we will distribute this to our fellowmen in Pangulo Centers, families and train stations.

02:52This month, we will start.

02:59Actually, we have a meeting at 1 o'clock and we will discuss the implementation of this Solid and Nutri-Rice in the next few days.

03:13We have a question from Bernadette Reyes of GMA News.

03:19How did some families manage to sell 38 pesos of rice?

03:25Where did this rice come from and will it be sustainable?

03:30The P38 to P39 price of Rice For All will start this year.

03:43We started selling at P45 per kilo.

03:47It went down to P43 and P42.

03:50Before the end of 2024, it went down to P40 per kilo.

03:57This year, this January, the price will go down to P38 to P39.

04:06From Bernadette Reyes of GMA News, what are the expected production or harvest and import levels this year?

04:16Are we seeing any threats?

04:20For now, we will continue until the first quarter.

04:26Our government expects that the agriculture sector will recover this year and will return.

04:34Hopefully, by 20 million metric tons, our production of rice this year will be at a level.

04:45We have a last question from Bernadette Reyes.

04:49The price of liempo is reaching P430 per kilo.

04:55Is this because of the ASF or because of the holiday season?

05:02This is still a continuous effect of the ASF.

05:07Although we expect that there will be a decrease in demand this January and February,

05:17we will also expect a decrease.

05:20This is still because of the ASF and the continuous demand until the end of the year.

05:29You also mentioned earlier about the 3-pass milling process and 1-pass milling process.

05:37What is the difference when it comes to rice?

05:44The single-pass means that the rice is milled only once.

05:54Aside from the several levels of milling, there is also polishing

06:00to make sure that the rice grains are removed.

06:10There will also be a process to remove the head rice.

06:15Here, it is only a single-pass.

06:17There are still a lot of fibers left in the rice grains.

06:24When it comes to supply,

06:26how large is the supply of these two types of rice that are nutritious and worth it?

06:33How does the DA ensure its sustainability and long-term availability in Kadiwa stores?

06:42Nina, it's lagging.

06:53When it comes to supply,

06:55how large is the supply of these two types of rice that are nutritious and worth it?

06:59How does the DA ensure its sustainability and long-term availability in Kadiwa stores?

07:11Our sources are both imported and local.

07:18Currently, our supply is managed by FTI, Food Terminal Incorporated.

07:29We have enough supply for everyone.

07:36How many Kadiwa Pangulo Centers are operational in the country?

07:42How many KNPQs are open this year?

07:49Our target by March is to have 700 Kadiwa Pangulo Centers.

07:59We expect that by the end of 2028,

08:03the total number of Kadiwa Pangulo sites in the country will reach 1,500.

08:11What is your message to our countrymen from the DA this year?

08:16Nina, our farmers and fishermen will continue to hope for quality services from the Ministry of Agriculture,

08:29led by our Deputy Secretary Francisco Chula Aurel Jr.

08:35Once again, I would like to congratulate the Ministry of Agriculture on this new year.

08:40Thank you and have a good afternoon.

08:43Thank you very much for your time.

08:45Assistant Secretary Arnel De Mesa, the spokesperson of the Department of Agriculture.
