00:36According to NFA branch manager Elie Marugindin,
00:39the rice stocks are currently undergoing fumigation to ensure quality before shipping via Caminawit port.
00:46Meanwhile in Oriental Mindoro, NFA acting branch manager Dennis Mejico confirmed that the province is also ready to send excess stocks to areas facing shortages.
