00:00The supply of rice by the National Food Authority this holiday season is already good.
00:05That's what National Food Authority Administrator Larry Lacson said in the program Mike Adelaide
00:11despite the devastating storm that hit the country in the past few years.
00:16According to Lacson, there's a lot of stock of rice now for households, private institutions, and the NFA itself.
00:23In the NFA, the buffer stock of rice is 5.489 million bags of rice that can be supplied to the whole country.
00:32Their target is 300,000 metric tons of buffer stock of rice before the year ends.
00:38Officials also have a message to the Filipinos who are struggling to buy rice that are being sold in the Kadiwa stores.
00:46To our fellow Filipinos, we know how expensive rice is in the market today.
00:52The NFA will continue to supply rice to our Kadiwa stores so that we can buy rice at a cheap price of Php 29.
01:03You can count on us to fulfill our mandate.
