00:00Department of Agriculture DA spokesperson Arnel De Mesa said an effective way for farmers to avoid hagglers is to set a floor price for rice grains.
00:09According to De Mesa, the assessment for setting a floor price will be per area, which is based on the data of fill rice in Philippine Statistics Authority or PSA.
00:19Meanwhile, the Agriculture Department is open to the suggestion of farmers for a 5 to 6 peso per kilo subsidy to keep a production loss to a minimum.
