DA says rice supply will be stable with wet season harvest, imports

Defining the News

The Department of Agriculture on Saturday said there will be sufficient rice supply in early 2024 as farmers will be able to harvest enough palay or unhusked rice this wet season.

“With our inventory plus imports, going into the first quarter of next year, the supply of our rice throughout the country will be stable,” De Mesa explained in a weekly news forum in Quezon City. “A lot of retailers were selling rice even lower than P41 and P45 a kilo, as it coincided with the start of wet season harvest that started in the last week of August,” he said.

De Mesa said on Saturday that pork imports are continuing, especially in the fourth quarter, based on the schedule arranged by the Bureau of Animal Industry last month.
