Sufficient
rice supply assured The National Food Authority in Oriental Negros has assured the public and its accredited retailers of sufficient stock of rice for distribution to complement the local rice supply. The assurance was made by NFA provincial manager Gil Ibarra who encouraged retailers to continue selling NFA rice at the government-controlled price of P18 per kilo. Ibarra said his office has received various shipments of imported
rice from Vietnam and Pakistan. In March, NFA received 16,000 bags
of Vietnam rice and 35,000 bags of Pakistani rice. |
