Rice not mixed with
commercial stocks
BY JUANCHO GALLARDE

The National Food Authority in Oriental Negros denied speculations that private retailers were mixing NFA rice with commercial stocks and selling them at a price higher than the P18 per kilogram set by the grains agency.

Provincial manager Marianito Bejemino of the NFA clarified this, after the Grains Retailers Confederation said it was possible that one percent of rice retailers might have managed to mix NFA rice with commercial stocks and sell them beyond the NFA-scheduled price.

GRECON president Serafin Renido said, the practice could not be avoided because many retailers operate in remote areas.
