00:09The DA is also studying to declare a National Food Security Emergency

00:15so that the challenges in the supply and price of agricultural products will be solved.

00:21Clayzel Fardilia is in the center of the news.

00:25The Department of Agriculture is positive that the local production of rice will recover this year

00:31after the drought, subsequent floods, and the eruption of the Canlaon Volcano in 2024.

00:38The DA is confident that the local production of rice will reach 20 million metric tons again.

00:45Under the proposed Rice Tarification Law,

00:49from Php 10 billion to Php 30 billion,

00:53the assistance allocated to the production of rice will be used.

00:57It is expected that more irrigation will be built, free fertilizer and other assistance will be available.

01:05The result expected by the DA is a reduction in the amount of rice harvested from other countries.

01:12According to the Bureau of Plant Industry,

01:15the highest volume of rice harvested in history reached Php 4.68 million metric tons last year.

01:25Our main focus is the local production.

01:30Importation is entirely out of the government's hands.

01:35That's a business decision of our importers and traders.

01:41The Department of Agriculture and Department of Trade and Industry joined forces

01:46to find a way to lower the price of rice and buy other things like vegetables to help consumers.

01:55The DA and DTI are now studying the maximum suggested retail price for imported rice.

02:05According to the price monitoring of the DA, each kilo of imported rice is Php 40 to Php 63.

02:12For 25% broken rice, the initial price should not exceed Php 50.

02:19And it is possible to lower the price.

02:21At the same time, the DA reiterated that the agency is considering the declaration of the National Food Security Emergency

02:30that will give power to Agriculture Secretary Francisco T. Laurel Jr.

02:35to issue the rice reserve of the National Food Authority
