00:00The government's support for rice farmers is unparalleled.
00:04In a statement to Radio Pilipinas, National Food Authority Administrator Larry Lackson said
00:09that they are buying rice at high prices so that rice farmers can earn a lot.
00:14In fact, this year, the NFA started buying rice at P23 per kilo.
00:20That's higher than the P16 to P17 price of rice traders.
00:25Meanwhile, the NFA assured that the rice supply is sufficient this year.
00:29Aside from the upcoming harvest, the private sector has also imported rice.
00:34The NFA also assured that rice will continue to be sold to the President's allies
00:39so that the Filipinos can help.
00:40This is also in accordance with President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr.'s orders.
00:45Many of our farmers are happy.
00:48They are really earning.
00:50There is no loss as long as they sell to the NFA.
00:53They are all earning.
