THE country's rice supply is in 'good shape,' President Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos Jr.
assured the public after reports that the retail price of rice may increase by P5 a kilo in the next few weeks because of lower import volume and high farm production costs.Marcos, who concurrently serves as the Agriculture secretary, said the government is exhausting all efforts to maintain the prices of rice in the market.'Mukha namang maganda ang sitwasyon natin. Hindi tayo magkukulang sa bigas.
Our agricultural sector is beginning to come back beyond pre-pandemic levels. And so that's progressing nicely,' he added.The President, however, said the NFA's buffer stock needed to be increased because it is currently 'low.'Marcos noted that NFA needs to buy its buffer stock from local producers, which in turn drives up the price of rice in the market.To avoid this, he said, the purchase of rice buffer stocks should be staggered.
