Mas mura na ang bigas sa ilalim ng "Rice For All" Program pero sa mga Kadiwa Center lang. Para mapamura rin ang bigas sa iba target ng agriculture department na pababain ang presyo ng imported rice bagay na mahirap sundin ayon sa ilang retailer.

00:00Rice is now cheaper under the Rice for All program, but only in Kadiwa centers.
00:06In order to make rice cheaper for others, the agriculture department's target is to lower the price of imported rice,
00:13which is hard to comply with, according to some retailers.
00:17Bernadette Reyes has the story.
00:22Starting today, rice prices are being lowered in Kadiwa centers under the Rice for All program.
00:29100% broken rice, which used to be P36, is now P33.
00:3525% broken rice, which used to be P38, is now P35.
00:405% broken rice, which used to be P45 per kilo, is now P43.
00:46This is a big thing for those who will buy with a limited budget.
00:50We are like mothers who are having a hard time budgeting every day.
00:55It's a big help.
00:56I hope the prices will still go down so that we can afford our budget.
01:02But there are other retailers who have not been able to lower the prices.
01:06They will be given a discount according to the DA.
01:09As of now, ma'am, we have not been able to lower the prices because our income is still high.
01:16If we want to, we will order the same price in the future so that it can meet their needs.
01:23DTI and DA are also coordinating with groceries and supermarkets so that it can be sold.
01:29Of course, if they can lower or sell at a lower price,
01:35this is best for the consumers because at least the consumers have choices of a lower price.
01:42While the price of rice is going down in Kadiwa centers,
01:46the Department of Agriculture also targets to lower the prices of imported rice.
01:51As of now, P55 per kilo.
01:54The target is to lower P52 per kilo the price of 5% imported rice from February 15.
02:01It's a difficult task for other retailers because they have almost no income from rice.
02:06We will not be able to afford it.
02:08Because we are paying the price of labor, we will have to pay a business permit.
02:14World prices are also going down.
02:16Theoretically, if the world price of rice goes down, even its inputs, including fertilizer, should follow.
