00:00The Department of Agriculture is also studying how to sell Kadiwa rice to some supermarkets and convenience stores.
00:07The plan includes selling 29 pesos per kilo of rice, 36 pesos worth of rice, and 38 pesos per kilo of rice for all.
00:16According to the DA, this will help more consumers because based on their monitoring,
00:21the difference in the price of rice in supermarkets is large compared to the markets.
00:27The DA has already helped their supermarkets and convenience store chains with this code 9.
00:34They agreed that our Kadiwa rice can also be sold at the same price.
00:42And of course, the price can also be the same as our traditional rice.
00:51For example, RFA 25 at 38, it should also be 38.
00:57According to the DA, they are still waiting for a copy of the resolution from the National Price Coordinating Council.
01:07Under the Food Security Emergency, the National Food Authority will issue buffer stocks to help lower the price of rice.
