00:00The Agriculture Department promised that they will ensure that businesses will follow the 58 pesos per kilo

00:06which is the maximum retail price for imported rice.

00:09This is what Isaiah Mirafuentes reported.

00:12In the last public market, Aurelia is buying rice.

00:17And she has a vegetable vendor that she often visits.

00:19And what she always buys is imported rice.

00:23She says it's delicious.

00:24It seems like it has the aroma of coconut.

00:27But for her, the price of rice is too high.

00:31It's better if it goes down so that the budget fits.

00:37And starting today, the Department of Agriculture will set the maximum suggested retail price for imported rice.

00:44According to the DA, the most expensive imported rice is already 58 pesos.

00:49Before this, imported rice is worth 65 pesos.

00:56It's mandatory in a sense because there was an agreement.

01:01In a way, we are monitoring that because we will release guidelines

01:06because as of now, we are still planning the guidelines.

01:10So in a way, we are not implementing the strictness yet.

01:15The Department is also ensuring that supermarkets will follow the price of imported rice.

01:22Specialty rice varieties such as malagkit, Japanese rice, and black rice are not included in the policy.

01:29MSRP also has a balance of 10 pesos per kilo nominal profit margin for landed costs of imported rice.

01:37Aside from this, the previous 40 pesos of rice can now be bought for 38 pesos under the leadership of President Kiyosk.

01:46These are the RFA25 or 25% broken rice.

01:51The 45 pesos of rice or the 5% broken rice can also be bought under the leadership of President Kiyosk.

01:57The so-called cheap rice is also available for 36 pesos.

02:01And the aging but good quality rice stock of the NFA is for 29 pesos.

02:07The Department of Agriculture is also encouraging Metro Manila mayors

02:11to make the government's cheap rice available to all public and private markets in Metro Manila.

02:18Kagawara also said that it is possible this week that there will be a resolution

02:23organized on the food security emergency that will be declared throughout the country.

02:27There will only be two basis of this food security emergency,

02:31the rice shortage and the extraordinary increase in rice prices.

02:34There is no problem with the rice shortage. We don't have that scenario right now.

02:39The only thing we are looking at is the extraordinary increase in prices.

02:44The DA is also hoping that Kadiwa Stores will be expanded throughout Metro Manila.

02:49And through these projects, the price of rice will be lowered.
