00:00 It is a waste of 30% of the country's rice according to the Agriculture Department.
00:09 The unorganized logistics that is the reason for this is the plan to move forward with new programs and facilities.
00:16 When will they be targeted? After Ivan Melina's prediction.
00:24 In a time of hard life due to high food prices, it is really disappointing to see this pile of cabbage being thrown in Pinoc-Ipugao.
00:33 This is happening now. The price has really dropped. We travelled to Trinidad but we did not get anything so we returned it.
00:42 According to Agriculture Secretary Francisco Chulaurel, 30% or 3 in every 10 kilos of agricultural produce in the country is wasted.
00:51 30% of our produce, especially of vegetables, is gone because of wastage, because of the poor logistics system in our food supply chain.
01:04 If we can lessen or hopefully almost eliminate the losses, that would be equivalent to at least 10 to 15 percent less cost for our vegetables and high value crops like fruits.
01:23 Despite the solutions presented by Chulaurel to the President, the problem with their pile of cabbage is the four cold storage facilities in FTI, Tanging and other parts of Luzon.
01:33 The target after these is in the middle of next year and funding of P1 billion.
01:39 The D.A.'s plan is to divide the funding for post-harvest facilities for the next three years, including for rice and corn.
01:47 At present, almost half a million tons, equivalent to more than P10 billion, are wasted in post-harvest losses in rice and corn.
01:55 If this is reduced, it will also result in a 5% reduction in the price. However, it is still far from the amount of P20 per kilo.
02:04 It's an aspiration. It's a target.
02:06 Still, given the current realities?
02:09 We will try our best. It's better if we have a goal so everybody tries to achieve it as hard as possible.
02:22 For GMA Integrated News, Ivan Meirini, for Tutok Tliligay, 24 hours.
