00:00Igan, following the declaration of the Food Security Emergency by the Department of Agriculture,

00:05rice can be sold to farmers in the National Food Authority.

00:10But some farmers are worried because of the prolonged process.

00:14Live from Iloilo City, the first news is Kim Salinas of GMA Regional TV.

00:20Kim?

00:21Igan, despite the reduction in production costs, the rise in the price of rice is still continuing

00:30based on the monitoring of the government.

00:33So now, a possible solution has been laid to lower the price of rice.

00:42The Department of Agriculture declared a food security emergency on rice yesterday, February 3.

00:48This is based on the recommendation of the National Price Coordinating Council

00:52due to the continued decrease in supply and increase in the price of rice.

00:57This will be a way for the National Food Authority to release its buffer stock.

01:03The NFA can also buy their rice from local government units.

01:08We will approach our local government units

01:12to find out if they are interested in selling NFA rice.

01:20The local farmers can also sell their rice to the NFA.

01:25But some farmers are hesitating to sell their rice to the NFA

01:30because of the prolonged process and increased transportation costs.

01:35If the rice is dry, we can sell it to the NFA.

01:39If the rice is not dry, we can sell it to the NFA.

01:47If the rice is not dry, we can sell it to the NFA.

01:53In the Pavia Public Market, the price of local rice ranges from Php 48 to Php 54,

01:59while the price of imported rice ranges from Php 55.

02:03According to some consumers, even if NFA rice is sold cheaply,

02:07they will buy different types of rice.

02:10Like Gemma, who is not used to NFA rice.

02:13However, she believes that NFA rice will help the poor.

02:18It's okay if the rice is dry.

02:22The problem is if the rice is dry.

02:28If the rice is dry, the NFA will buy it again.

02:34The NFA confirmed that their rice stock is dry

02:37because of the prolonged process of buying rice from the farmers.

02:42We qualify the rice that we buy from our farmers

02:47so that at the end of the day, when it is milled rice, it will be good.

02:52Igan, NFA 6 is now circling the provinces in Western Visayas

03:02to convince LGUs to buy NFA rice that will be sold to consumers at a cheaper price.

03:10Igan?

03:12Thank you very much, Kim Salinas of GMA Regional TV.
