00:00It is expected that in the next week, cheaper NFA rights will be available.
00:05Meanwhile, President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. is also aiming to lower the price of pork.
00:12Claycel Pardilla has the details.
00:17Christopher's rice store in Galas Market is lowering the price significantly
00:22since the maximum suggested legal price for rice was implemented.
00:26Before, it was P65. Now, it's P58.
00:30Those who supply rice to me, they also lower the price.
00:34But Joy and Lorely are still looking for cheaper ways to save.
00:38That's the 35 pesos rice from the National Food Authority.
00:42That's a big help for us, those prices.
00:47Where will you use the money you'll save?
00:49Of course, in food. To add to our needs.
00:56According to the Department of Agriculture,
00:5850 local governments have announced that they will buy NFA rice
01:02to distribute or sell to their residents.
01:06The question is, when will NFA rice be released?
01:10There is documentation that needs to be done.
01:13Hopefully, all the documentations between NFA to FTI, FTI to LGU will be completed.
01:22By next week, it will be rolled out.
01:25President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. is now targeting the price of pork,
01:31which is from P345 to P480 per kilo.
01:36The DA is looking into the placement of MSRP on pork before February ends.
01:42The farm gate is P240 to P250.
01:45I'm looking for P100.
01:48I can see a gap.
01:50Anything above P400, I think it's unreasonable.
01:54To stop the price of onions,
01:57the DA is protesting the placement of 4,000 metric tons of onions.
02:03At the same time, agricultural smuggling is being targeted.
02:0716 importers involved in agri-smuggling are now blacklisted
