00:00The Agriculture Department will implement the Maximum Suggested Retail Price on some imported rice
00:05to ensure that it can be reached.
00:07For how long? Let's find out in the coverage of Bernadette Reyes.
00:14From January 20, the Maximum Suggested Retail Price to MSRP of Php 58 per kilo will be implemented on imported rice.
00:23This means that the sale of imported rice should not exceed that price
00:28except for Japanese rice, black rice, and Malagkit.
00:31This is according to Agriculture Secretary Francisco Chula Uriel Jr.
00:35This will be done to ensure that the price of rice can be reached.
00:39It will be implemented in Metro Manila
00:42and the price will be reviewed every month
00:44to ensure that it is in line with the price movement in the world market.
00:49In addition to the DA, it also went through a consultation
00:52with importers and retailers and government agencies.
00:56We put a margin of Php 10 per kilo from importer to retailer.
01:03So that's our Php 58.
01:05But now, the world price is going down.
01:09So maybe the MSRP of Php 58 in the future should be lower
01:14if the price of the world price continues to go down.
01:18Brands will also be removed from rice
01:20which is the reason for some importers.
01:23Instead, it will be replaced by color-coding.
01:26The DA will also issue guidelines on this.
01:29In terms of tagging, brands are prohibited.
01:33They will put the type, origin, percent broken, and price.
01:38Then the tags have color-coding.
01:41That color-coding is actually based on the meeting yesterday with the retailers.
01:48Many of them are still implementing it actually.
01:52Next will be the launch of Sunit Rice
01:55which will be sold for Php 35 to Php 36,
01:58or the so-called 100% broken.
02:01For now, it can only be bought in some selected families.
02:04Meanwhile, in the price monitoring of the DA
02:07together with the DTI today,
02:09the price of tomatoes has gone down noticeably
02:12which reached Php 360 per kilo at some point.
02:16But the increase in the price of some major products
02:21includes sardines, milk, coffee, noodles, and bottled water.
02:25This month, the DTI and manufacturers will help
02:28to discuss the price of the major products.
02:31If the price goes up,
02:34the DTI will make sure that it won't affect the buyers.
02:39We come up with a consensus on what is best
02:42for both manufacturers and consumers.
02:44It should be a win-win for all.
02:46But whatever the price increase,
02:47it should be added to the buyers.
02:49I will just buy what I need at home.
02:52Soap, sugar, coffee, what I really need.
02:59I am looking for alternatives.
03:02For example, the price of bread is Php 60,
03:05I am looking for the same, Php 40,
03:08that's how I lower it.
03:10And the essentials only.
