00:00It is expected that the sale of cheap rice in the country will be expanded.
00:04This is after a dialogue was concluded between some lawmakers in the government agency and rice owners and millers
00:11that the regular and well-milled rice in the markets was sold for up to Php 45.
00:17The center of the news is from Noel Talacay. Noel?
00:22Now, rice owners, millers, Bureau of Customs, BOC, Department of Agriculture, DA and some members of the House of Representatives
00:34have agreed to sell rice for Php 40 to Php 45, the regular and well-milled rice, in the markets.
00:41This is after a dialogue was concluded between the BOC Commissioner Bienvenido Rubio
00:47and DA Secretary Francisco Noel Jr. and Congressman Erwin Tulfo and some members of the House of Representatives.
00:55In their dialogue, rice warehouse owners and millers of Balagtas, Bulacan said that their price is low
01:05so they are wondering why it is so expensive when it comes to the markets and retailers.
01:11They also decided to chase the middlemen.
01:15They asked for names of all the wholesalers who buy their rice.
01:21They also promised that the NFA will buy their rice and they also submitted to the President.
01:30Rice warehouse owners and millers of Balagtas, Bulacan also cried
01:36They will put mobile stores in the markets so that the rice can be bought directly from the retailers in the markets.
01:45Remember, this Monday, some rice warehouse and millers were shut down by the BOT
01:52because of hoarding and overpricing of imported rice from Thailand, Pakistan and Myanmar.
01:59Thank you very much Noel Talacay.
