00:00The National Food Authority promised to buy all the rice that will be sold to them by farmers.

00:07This is followed by farmers who can't buy their crops because their farms are full.

00:16Witness, Bernadette Reyes.

00:21In spite of the decreasing price of rice due to the implementation of the maximum suggested retail price to the importers,

00:27the price is still high for those who can afford it.

00:31I mixed it to reduce the price of rice.

00:36It's Php 50 and Php 47.

00:40We are the ones who lack budget.

00:42We really need to buy lower prices so that we can afford to buy everything.

00:49Since the implementation of the maximum SRP, from Php 60 per kilo of rice,

00:54there are those who can buy it for Php 49 or even lower.

00:58But by March 31, the maximum SRP for imported rice will be Php 45 per kilo.

01:06In the meantime, farmers are coming.

01:09They can't buy rice from them because their farms are full of rice.

01:16Malacanang said that they are now being encouraged by the NFA.

01:20The farmers who were the first ones to register will be the first ones to buy rice.

01:25If the farm is short of rice, the NFA will rent it.

01:30So all the farmers who sell rice, if they have a chance to wait for their turn,

01:38they will buy rice from the NFA.

01:39We will not reject all the farmers who sell rice.

01:44Recently, the NFA increased the buying price of rice to Php 24 for clean and dry.

01:50The NFA bought Php 19 for fresh rice.

01:54The price of fish is also increasing, like galunggong, which is Php 400 per kilo.

01:59It is higher compared to the closed fishing season.

02:02The price of alumahan and tambakol also increased.

02:06The price is high now.

02:08People are forced to buy frozen fish because the price of frozen fish is low.

02:12The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources also noticed the high price of some fish now.

02:17One of the possible reasons is the increased logistical cost in the whole supply chain of production.

02:26That would include fuel and other relevant logistical needs like the rentals of delivery trucks.

02:37It is also said that the price of fish is higher in the so-called secondary markets.

02:42It is also said that the price of fish is higher in the so-called secondary markets.

02:50The price of chicken is still high, from Php 170 to Php 250 per kilo.
