00:00It is possible that next week, the NFA RISE will be rolled out to the LGUs
00:05so that the public can taste the 35 kilos of rice.
00:09Meanwhile, President Ferdinand R. Marquez Jr. is also focusing on the price of pork in the Agriculture Department.
00:17This is Clayzel Pardilla of PTV in Balitang Pambansa.
00:22Christopher's rice store in Galas Market is increasing its price.
00:27Since the implementation of the maximum suggested retail price for rice.
00:31Before, it was P65. Now, it's just P58.
00:35Those who also supply to me, they also lower the price.
00:39But Joy and Lorely are still looking for something cheaper to save.
00:43That is the 35 pesos of rice from the National Food Authority.
00:47It's a big help for us, those prices.
00:52Where will you use what you can save?
00:54Of course, in food, to add to our needs.
01:01According to the Department of Agriculture,
01:0350 local governments have announced that they will buy NFA RISE
01:08to distribute or sell to their residents.
01:11The question is, when will NFA RISE be released?
01:15There is documentation that needs to be done.
01:19Hopefully, all the documentations between NFA to FTI, FTI to LGU will be completed.
01:27By next week, there will be a rollout.
01:30President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. is focusing on the price of pork,
01:37which is from P345 to P480 per kilo.
01:42The Department of Agriculture is looking into the implementation of MSRP for pork
01:46before February ends.
01:48The farm gate is P240 to P250.
01:50I'm looking for P100.
01:53I can see a gap.
01:55Anything above P400 is unreasonable.
01:59In order to stop the price of onions,
02:02the DA is against the importation of 4,000 metric tons of onions.
02:08At the same time, agricultural smuggling is being targeted.
02:1216 importers involved in agri-smuggling are on the blacklist
02:18or are not allowed to import products.
02:21Four cases have been filed.
