00:00The Department of Agriculture prioritized the excess growth of some traders in imported rice.

00:06Because of this, the agency decided to remove the word premium and special in imported rice

00:13because it uses this reason to raise the price.

00:17This is what Claycel Pardilla has to say.

00:21Special rice is what Rogelio usually buys because aside from smelling good, it's also delicious to eat.

00:28But he is careful when choosing this type of rice because the price is more expensive.

00:33I've experienced this before.

00:35Because it's special, but when you smell it, there's no smell.

00:40But the real one, of course, it's delicious when you smell it.

00:45And I also check if there are no impurities or it's yellowish.

00:52In the price monitoring of the Department of Agriculture,

00:55imported rice that is well-milled is around P40 to P46 per kilo.

01:01Special is P52 to P60, while premium is P54 to P64.

01:07The Department of Agriculture said that the price of imported rice is too high

01:12to lower the price.

01:14The DA planned to remove the label of imported rice.

01:19The ones that are displayed as premium and special rice

01:22use the same reason to manipulate and raise the price of rice.

01:28For example, the landed price is only P40.

01:31But because they will do it, they will brand it as premium or special.

01:37And this is the brand.

01:39The price will be higher.

01:41We saw that it's P60 plus.

01:44It's like they're taking too much profit.

01:49The placement of premium and special rice is too much.

01:54Ms. Mari Deth, who has been selling rice for decades,

01:58said that the price of imported rice per kilo is only P2.

02:02We won't place it as not special.

02:05People will ask,

02:07what did I buy? Why is it expensive?

02:09It's special.

02:10It's easier to understand

02:12because their money has a special price.

02:16For now, the DA is considering declaring a food security emergency

02:22to lower the price of rice.

02:25The National Food Authority may also allow

02:28the release of the buffer stock of rice.

02:30Or the FDI may ask to increase the number of imported rice

02:35to compete with the importers.

02:38There are two conditions.

02:40First, the supply is insufficient.

02:44Second, the price is high.

02:46Like now, we can see that the price is high.

02:50So that's a possibility.

02:52The MPCC should recommend to the Secretary.

02:56And the Secretary can declare a food emergency

03:00upon careful recommendation.
