NFA deploys 2
teams to monitor rice

The National Food Authority in Negros Occidental has deployed two enforcement teams to monitor compliance by grains retailers in the province with the rules and regulations in selling NFA rice.

NFA provincial manager Marianito Bejemino said their agency wants to ensure that the NFA rice reaches the consumer at the right quality and price set at P18 per kilo.

Violators will be fined P1,000 or even more, depending on the gravity of their offense. NFA rice can be bought from 'Tindahan Natin' outlets of the NFA and the Department of Socal Welfare and Development, Bigasan ni Gloria sa Palengke outlets, Bigasan sa Parokya outlets and individual outside market retailers.
