00:00The plan of the Agriculture Department is to sell to supermarkets and convenience stores the rice that they can buy from the Kadiwa store.

00:08This is so that more Filipinos will be able to buy cheap rice while there is still no declaration of food security emergency on rice.

00:16This is what Bernadette Reyes is talking about.

00:22It is a big help to Krish's budget to be able to buy more rice from the Kadiwa store.

00:28But it can only be seen in the nearby markets and rolling stores.

00:32It is also expensive compared to the grocery.

00:35But if the price is the same when you go out to the grocery, it's better.

00:40It's the same price.

00:42Where it is cheap, we are there to sell.

00:44The Department of Agriculture is helping major supermarket chain and convenience stores

00:50to discuss the plan to sell the rice that can be seen in the Kadiwa stores.

00:56They agreed that our Kadiwa rice can be sold at the same price.

01:05It will be available.

01:06And of course, the price will be the same as the traditional price.

01:14For example, RFA25 at 38. It should be 38.

01:19This is the rice that is sold in Kadiwa stores that is also planned to be sold in groceries and supermarkets.

01:25This includes the 29 pesos per kilo of rice that is sold in the sector,

01:30the 36 pesos worth of rice or the 100% broken rice,

01:34and the so-called rice for all that is sold for 38 pesos.

01:38This will help to have other options for buyers.

01:42Especially in the market monitoring of DA and DTI,

01:45there is a big difference in the price of rice compared to the markets.

01:49Our rice for all that is 25% is 38 pesos.

01:53The rice that is imported of the same quality is 45 pesos, a difference of 7 pesos.

02:05Meanwhile, even though the price of rice is going down in the markets,

02:09it is still important to release the buffer stock of the National Food Authority

02:13to be able to buy rice during the harvest.

02:16For now, the DA is still waiting for the resolution of the National Price Coordinating Council

02:21that is pushing to declare a food security emergency on rice.

02:25The DA will review it as part of due diligence in two days and then afterwards,

02:29and there will be a possible declaration.

02:32Though it is a downward trend, but like when we went around,

02:35we can still see that the price will still go up.

02:39For GMA Integrated News, Bernadette Reyes, Katutok, 24 Hours.
