More than 600 farmers in the City of Malolos, Bulacan are earning P3 more for every kilo of their palay harvest through a partnership between the city government and the NFA.
In an interview on May 24, Mayor Christian Natividad said the city’s partnership with the NFA would continue every cropping and harvest season from March to May and November to January.
“Those middlemen control the buying price of palay, which is very low. Now, farmers can sell their harvest to NFA for P3 higher [than the prevailing price of P19 per kilo],” Natividad said.Natividad said implementing the Pallgu is also one way of supporting the farmers in preparation for El Niño in the coming months. El Niño is a weather phenomenon that is anticipated to bring hot and dry weather across the country.
