00:00Market Monitoring was conducted by Department of Agriculture and Department of Traded Industries in Pasay.

00:05Let's get more details on the spot with Bernadette Reyes.

00:08Bernadette.

00:12Rafi, how many vegetable stores here in Cartimar Market in Pasay

00:17are believed by the Department of Agriculture to sell smuggled vegetables?

00:24In the market monitoring of DA and DTI,

00:28several imported vegetables were seen and considered smuggled.

00:31The DA has a basis for saying that several imported vegetables were smuggled.

00:36According to Agriculture Secretary Francisco Chula Rell Jr.,

00:39the Bureau of Plant Industry did not issue a permit to import these,

00:44so it will be checked and it will be known where it came from.

00:47It is possible that the sellers do not know that these are smuggled.

00:52Meanwhile, in the February 5 target of the DA,

00:55the maximum suggested retail price for imported rice was reduced to Php 55 per kilo.

01:01In March, MSRP was expected to be Php 49 per kilo.

01:06This can be done as long as the sale of rice in the world market is low.

01:11Meanwhile, Php 390 to Php 420 per kilo of pork meat here in Cartimar Market.

01:18But in other families, Php 480 per kilo is reached based on the monitoring of the DA.

01:24Meanwhile, Php 220 to Php 240 per kilo in Farmgate.

01:30The DA will find out why the price is far from retail.

01:34Aside from this, next weeks,

01:36the Department of Agriculture is expected to implement new guidelines on the labeling of rice.

01:45Bernadette, are the rice retailers following the maximum suggested retail price?

01:53Rafi, based on the monitoring of the DA and DTI here in Cartimar Market,

01:58they are following the maximum suggested retail price.

02:02But a few days ago, the DA monitored that some retailers are still selling more MSRP.

02:12That's why the DA is continuously monitoring them to make sure that they meet the agreed price.

02:17Is there a penalty for the retailers who are selling more MSRP?

02:26Rafi, currently, the Department of Agriculture is just advising the retailers

02:32that their prices are higher than MSRP and they are asking them to change the price.

02:36However, next weeks, the Department of Agriculture will issue new guidelines

02:41and it states that their compliance is needed.

02:44And if this is implemented, the government will be strict on its implementation.

02:51Thank you very much, Bernadette Reyes.
