00:00 Mayague de Mayo, in the beginning of the month,

00:03 the government said that it is expected to rain in the last part of May.

00:08 A group is worried that the rice supply will be affected.

00:12 This is what Katrina Sun pointed out.

00:14 If the rain is common in the last week of May,

00:20 it is highly likely that it will be affected this year because of the rain in El Nino,

00:26 according to the forecast.

00:27 According to the group of farmers, the rice supply may be affected.

00:54 Because of this, it is possible that the rice will be expensive.

00:57 It is also said that the impact of imported rice and its price will be great.

01:03 The Agriculture Department clarified that the rice supply in the country is sufficient for now.

01:09 A large part of our country, especially our rice granaries,

01:14 has not been affected because our water supplies are still good.

01:18 Even if the rice supply of the first three months of the year is decreasing by 100,000 metric tons,

01:24 it is still very small,

01:25 it is less than 1% of the total rice supply of the country.

01:31 It is very likely that the rice will be expensive.

01:34 If the rains in the country start and the rice buffer stock is needed,

01:39 the buffer stock of the NFA will be sufficient.

01:42 The DA will also support the Congress' amendment to the Rice Tarification Law.

01:47 They only request that the NFA should not be too heavy in sales because it will be too costly.

01:54 We are trying to find a way to listen to every sector affected by this law.

02:01 For GMA Integrated News, Katrina Son.
