P35 kada kilong bigas ang inaasahan sa mga piling tindahan sa mga susunod na araw dahil puwede nang ilabas ang NFA rice bunsod ng food security emergency. Malaking tulong man sa mga mamimili, lugi naman ang mga magsasaka at maging ang NFA, ayon sa isang grupo. Sagot ng Agriculture Department, kailangang kontrolin ang presyo ng bigas. Ang bigas naman sa mas maraming tindahan, lilimitahan sa P55 kada kilo simula bukas.

00:00Good evening, Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.
00:0535 pesos per kilo of rice is expected in the next few days
00:12because the NFA RISE, the Food Security Emergency Fund, can be issued.
00:18Even if it's a big help to the voters,
00:20the farmers and the NFA won't agree with one group.
00:24According to the Agriculture Department,
00:26the price of rice needs to be controlled.
00:29For more stores, the price will be limited to 55 pesos per kilo starting tomorrow.
00:36This is Bernadette Reyes.
00:42The rice that has been imported to the National Food Authority's warehouses
00:46will be released to the Food Terminal Incorporated in the next few days.
00:51It will be sold to local governments,
00:53some government-controlled companies,
00:55and other government agencies for P33 per kilo.
01:00The price of rice to be sold to buyers is P35 per kilo.
01:05As for the farmers' centers,
01:08and where the LGUs or agencies will be sold,
01:12it can't be done because the NFA should only impose a buffer stock
01:16that can be issued if there's a storm or an emergency.
01:19But under Republic Act 12078,
01:22there's also a food security emergency for whatever reason.
01:26And under that law, the Agriculture Secretary was given the right to declare such an emergency
01:31if the supply is insufficient or the price of rice is not yet normal.
01:36It's in P23.
01:39This is a market that sells our rice for all now, which is in P38.
01:44So they will be able to earn P35 in the coming days.
01:49We earn P35 per kilo of rice.
01:53But at that price, the NFA will lose P12 to P15 per kilo.
01:59Initially, the recommendation was P38.
02:03The NFA may lose P15 per kilo
02:07because it bought the expensive rice and sold it at a subsidized price.
02:12If you're going to do it another way, especially if you're going to ask the government for compensation,
02:16what's the logic then?
02:19You're just wasting money.
02:22We really need to do this to control and lower the price
02:27so that we can vacate our farms
02:31so that the NFA can buy the harvest from the farmers.
02:35But a group of farmers said
02:38that in order to sell rice for P35 per kilo,
02:41the NFA will lower the price of rice.
02:43The equivalent price of rice will be about P17 to P18 per kilo.
02:48At that price, half of the farmers will lose money.
02:53It distracts people from the real solution,
02:58which is to go after the profiteers.
03:02Why don't they do that?
03:04If the supply runs out, rice can also be imported according to the law,
03:08even if it's first bought by the local farmers.
03:12The NFA may import,
03:14but that's not our plan for now
03:18because we want to resolve this through our...
03:20because we have a lot of supplies for now.
03:22The Food Security Emergency may recover if the price of rice goes down.
03:27In the world market, the world price really went down,
03:30so the maximum suggested retail price of rice will also go down,
03:34which is at P58 per kilo now.
03:37From tomorrow, the maximum suggested retail price will go down to P55 per kilo
03:42for 5% broken and imported rice here in Metro Manila.
03:46When February 15 comes,
03:48the implementation of this will be done nationwide.
03:51It can be done because there are also those who come with lower prices.
03:54We're just letting the rice run out before the price goes down.
03:59For GMA Integrated News, Bernadette Reyes,
04:02for Tutok 24 Hours.
