00:00Every now and then, the agriculture department takes initiatives to maintain or lower the prices of food in the country

00:07like rice, pork, and garlic.

00:10Vel Custodio in the center of the news.

00:15The Department of Agriculture plans to make RFA Rice Retailers accredited by the President

00:20to speed up the release of rice stocks by the National Food Authority.

00:24If they have their own place, they have their own people, they have their own network.

00:29So, that's it. Actually, that's what's being discussed.

00:33To revive that system so that we can ensure that they are accredited.

00:40It is expected that the production of local rice will increase this year.

00:44More than 20 million metric tons of local rice production were recorded in the first quarter of this year.

00:51While 50% of the compliance level of 45 pesos maximum suggests that the retail price of imported rice

00:57started on Monday.

00:59Aside from rice, there are new projects that the Department of Agriculture is working on

01:04to continue lowering the prices of pork.

01:07Today, the pilot testing of Food Terminal Incorporated and the leading pork producer, Sipi Food,

01:13for the discount on the head of pork.

01:16Sipi will deliver directly the pork at a discounted price to the slaughterhouse.

01:25Then, the travelers will deliver their pork to the slaughterhouse.

01:31They will get the pork. Initially, the target is 100 heads.

01:36The pilot testing will be conducted in the markets in Metro Manila, particularly in Malabon,

01:41where the head price will be only P290 from the directive of the DA to P300.

01:48P240 will be the discounted price for pork and P260 for pork belly.

01:54Aside from this, the DA also plans to place a card that will serve as a tracker from the producer to the retailer of pork.

02:02The card is to know how much pork, who is the producer, how much to get.

02:09This is also a way to know where there are problems with compliance with MSRP.

02:14For now, the compliance level of pork is 88% with the farm gate price of P230,

02:21while the compliance level of MSRP is 39%.

02:24The DA will be strict with those who are against the price of pork.

02:28Even if it is not followed, it is possible to have a hearing,

02:34and secondly, it is also possible that the shipping permit,

02:40if it is proven that there is a violation in any legal process,

02:48the shipping permit can be reimbursed.

02:52Meanwhile, according to the DA, the price of imported garlic will start to drop to P120

02:59from the previous P160 per kilo.

03:02The DA, Secretary Francisco Tula Rell Jr., said that as much as possible,

03:07he does not want to place MSRP on garlic if it can lower its price.

03:12The DA will also strengthen the research and development to increase the local garlic production.

03:18Another targeted project of the government is to correct the weighting and categorization of eggs.

03:23This is to avoid buying egg sizes that do not match its label.
