The Department of Agriculture (DA) announced that they will start selling mixed local and imported well-milled rice at P43 per kilo under its Rice-for-All program at Kadiwa sa Pangulo sites in Luzon. This is lower than its previous price of P45 per kilo.

 

The lowering of price for the Rice for All will coincide with the expansion of the program, along with the P29 program, or the sale of aging but good quality rice stocks from the National Food Authority (NFA) to senior citizens, beneficiaries of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps), persons with disabilities (PWDs), and solo parents.

Cheaper rice priced at P43 per kilogram will be available at various Kadiwa ng Pangulo outlets on Friday, agriculture department announced (Photo courtesy of ABS-CBN News)

 

P29 Rice Program is available subsidized rice at P29 per kilo only for indigent and vulnerable sectors. While the Rice-for-All program is available to all consumers. The price adjustment comes as the prevailing price of rice in markets is on a decline.

 

Latest data from the DA showed Kadiwa sa Pangulo has served 142,000 households with 126,000 kilos sold from the Rice-For-All Program and 722,000 kilos of P29 rice dispatched.

 

DA Assistant Secretary Arnel de Mesa said, “We will be adding 20 new additional sites beginning Friday, and by the end of the year, an additional 169 sites. Hopefully, we can reach more than 1,500 Kadiwa sites overall.”

 

The expanded operations of Rice for All and P29 will include Ocean Fish - Barangay 8, Barangay 28 Zone 3, Site 1, and Barangay 28 Zone 3 Caloocan City - Site 2 in Caloocan City; Kalt Alles - NFPC-PFDA (Navotas Fish Port Complex-Philippine Fisheries Development Authority), North Bay Boulevard, North Navotas, Navotas; Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources - Longos, 18 Tuazon, Barangay Potrero, and Kalt Alles - Potrero in, Malabon; and Barangay.
