Farmers dry their rice crops in the middle of the sun at Brgy. Paligue in Candaba, Pampanga on April 1, 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MANILA, Philippines \u2014 Bringing the price of rice down to P20 per kilo, as promised by President Marcos during the campaign, is \u201cnot impossible,\u201d according to Albay Rep. Joey Salceda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Salceda expressed this sentiment yesterday during a briefing of the House committee on agriculture on the status of the \u201ccountry\u2019s sufficiency in rice, corn, livestock, poultry, vegetables and other key commodities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lawmaker told the Department of Agriculture (DA) that during the presidency of Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, bringing down the prics of rice was \u201cvery simple as the National Food Authority (NFA) was subsidizing rice by buying the staple at higher prices and then selling them at lower prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf Bongbong (Marcos) really wanted P20 per kilo, it is easy\u2026 It\u2019s just that NFA had incurred debts amounting to P15 billion then. But at least P20 was achieved, and it was even P18,\u201d he said in Filipino.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Deputy Speaker and Isabela Rep. Antonio Albano reminded Salceda that NFA \u201cno longer has the power to do so.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To this, Salceda replied that a \u201csubsidy fund\u201d could be set up for rice instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou can set up a subsidy fund for it. If there\u2019s no NFA then somebody can do it if you want P20. It\u2019s not impossible, that\u2019s what I am saying. (Former) president Gloria was into importation at P30 and then sell it P18,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, rice watchdog group Bantay Bigas dared Agriculture Secretary Francisco Tiu Laurel Jr. to go to the different palay farms in the country and hear the sentiments of farmers amid the continued spike in retail prices of rice, as the lowest cost is now at P53 per kilo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an interview with The STAR yesterday, Bantay Bigas spokesperson Cathy Estavillo said based on their  monitoring, the retail price of well-milled rice ranged between P53 and P56 per kilo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She added that Laurel has been meeting with the rice traders and importers but not with the peasants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Estavillo, consumers can no longer afford the high price of rice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe P53 to P56 (per kilo) is too costly for ordinary people,\u201d she noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Estavillo reiterated the need to scrap Republic Act 11203 or the Rice Tariffication Law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She said that the P27 and P32 NFA rice should be returned, adding the government should provide P15,000 subsidy to the farmers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on monitoring of the DA in Metro Manila markets, the retail price of local regular rice was as high as P53 per kilo; local well-milled rice, P55 per kilo; local premium rice, P62 per kilo and local special rice, P66 per kilo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, the retail price of imported premium rice was P60 per kilo and imported special rice, P65. \u2013 Bella Cariaso<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
