Starting today July 5, the Department of Agriculture (DA) launched the “Program 29” offering a cheaper price of P29 per kilo of rice in ten Kadiwa centers in Metro Manila and Bulacan every Friday to Sunday, that aims to provide affordable rice to vulnerable sectors.

 

Identified Kadiwa sites are located in the following areas: Bureau of Animal Industry (BAI), Visayas Ave., Brgy. Vasra, Quezon City; National Irrigation Administration (NIA) Parking Lot, EDSA Diliman, Quezon City; Bureau of Plant Industry (BPI), San Andres St., Brgy. 706, Malate, Manila; Food Terminal Inc., Brgy. Western Bicutan, Taguig City; PhilFIDA Compound, Aria St., Talon Dos, Las Pinas City; Brgy. 167, Llano Road, Caloocan City (Beside PTT Gasoline Station); Brgy. Fortune Barangay Hall, Champaca St., Marikina City; #1 Marcos Highway, BFCT Marikina, Marikina City; Disiplina Village, Ugong, Valenzuela City; and Brgy. Minuyan Proper (near City College) San Jose del Monte, Bulacan.

 

“The large-scale trial aims to gather comprehensive data on supply, demand, and logistics, essential for the smooth nationwide rollout of the program,” DA stated.

 

The programs are also expected to be brought to Visayas and Mindanao next month. P29 rice is only sold to members of vulnerable sectors such as 4Ps, senior citizens, PWD, and single parents. Each family can only buy up to 10 kilos of rice per month.

 

The supply will be sourced from the aging stocks of the National Food Authority (NFA) which are rice that has been in storage for three months or palay (unhusked rice) stockpiles that have been kept for six months.

 

Agriculture Secretary Francisco Tiu Laurel Jr. said, “We appeal to beneficiaries not to take advantage of this program by reselling the P29 rice from Kadiwa centers. We want to ensure that the largest number of those in the vulnerable sectors will benefit from this program of President Bongbong Marcos.”
