THE Department of Agriculture has expressed confidence that it could bring down rice prices sold at Kadiwa ng Pangulo stores to P38 per kilo by January.
“Staring in January, we will be buying rice from traders, farmers, farmer co-ops, importers, and sell it through the Kadiwa ng Pangulo,” he said. Laurel explained that Sulit Rice would be sold at P35 to P36 per kilo while Nutri-Rice at P36 to P37.“The regular rice we’re buying now is three-pass already. All the minerals, nutrients, plus fiber are lost. In one-pass, all the nutrients and fiber are still there,” he said.
