Utos ni PBBM na price ceiling sa palay suportado ng Kamara

Maituturing na malaking malasakit at tulong sa mga lokal na magsasaka ang kautusan ni Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos, Jr., sa National Food Authority o NFA na bilhin ang mga aning palay ng mga lokal na magsasaka sa mataas na presyo.

Sinabi ni House Speaker Martin Romualdez sa pamamagitan ng pagprayoridad ng gobyerno na bilhin ang mga locally produced na palay magbibigay daan ito para mapatatag ang presyo ng bigas sa bansa kahit ito ay tumataas sa world market.

Itinakda ng National Food Authority Council na pinamumunuan mismo ng Pangulo bilang concurrent agriculture secretary ang buying price ng tuyong palay sa halagang 19 pesos hanggang 23 pesos ang kada kilo at 16 pesos hanggang 19 pesos ang kada kilo ng basang palay.

Batay sa record ng NFA mayroong nakalaang 15 billion pesos na pondo para ipambili ng aning palay ng mga lokal na magsasaka.

Pahayag ni  House Speaker Martin Romualdez;

Ang utos  ni Pangulong Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. sa National Food Authority na mamili ng palay sa mataas na presyo ay makatutulong sa mga magsasaka at sa pagpapanatili ng presyo ng bigas.

This shows the malasakit our president has towards our farmers who have been working very hard for us to achieve food security.

Our farmers have been the ones giving us food on our tables. So, let’s give them the respect that they truly deserve. That is why our President still sits as Agriculture secretary in a concurrent capacity.

The president wants to make sure our local prices are stable, regardless of what happens in the world market. Our priority should be our own. Of course, we prefer our local supply compared to imported rice. We should import only those what we need. self-sufficiency should be key.

We must prioritize strengthening the resilience and growth of our farmers by providing accessible financial schemes, such as low-interest loans and grants, can empower our farmers to innovate and scale up their operations. Facilitating direct market access, eliminating the middlemen, ensures that our farmers receive better prices for their produce while consumers benefit from affordability.”
