The agency also expects 5.7 million MT in total local harvest from January to June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c<em>Malaki &#8216;yung ating<\/em>&nbsp;projected&nbsp;<em>na<\/em>&nbsp;(We have a big projected) supply for the first six months, and we are expecting we will have at least remaining stock by end of June that will be good for about two months,\u201d he pointed out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., who is also agriculture secretary, said in April that he sees&nbsp;no rice crisis&nbsp;in the country, but the option to import should always remain open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the chief executive\u2019s campaign promises was to bring down the per kilo price of rice to \u20b120. Marcos said in March that the government hopes to achieve this \u201cas soon as possible\u201d despite hurdles, like the weather.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Past and present government officials have said it may be difficult to achieve this immediately due to&nbsp;funding&nbsp;issues and situation in the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Sebastian, lowering the price of rice is possible, but it should be market driven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are not going to dictate it, but what we can do is we can help our farmers reduce their costs, improve the value chain\u2026&nbsp;<em>para makita natin<\/em>&nbsp;(so we can see) if our cost of production and the cost of the value chain will be lower&nbsp;<em>baka pwede nating mapababa yung presyo<\/em>, but \u20b120 maybe&nbsp;<em>mahirapan tayo doon<\/em>&nbsp;(maybe we can lower the price, but \u20b120 may be difficult),\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Latest government data showed the price of local commercial rice in Metro Manila markets ranges from \u20b134 per kilo to \u20b160 per kilo depending on the variant of local rice, and \u20b140 to \u20b158 for imported rice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, May 25) \u2014&nbsp;The Department of Agriculture (DA) on Thursday said it is confident that rice supply in the country will be enough even during the lean months of July to September. \u201cIf we are going into the lean months and we have a good buffer of about 60 days plus the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4528,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[176],"tags":[46,160,159],"class_list":["post-4527","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-asian-rice","tag-rice-export","tag-global-rice-news"],"acf":{"enable_premium_overlay":false},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
