President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. ordered the Department of Agriculture and other government agencies to scale up affordable rice initiatives, including the P29 and Rice-for-All programs.
Since its launch, the P29 Program has provided rice to over 140,000 households across the Philippines, distributing more than 700,000 kilograms through Kadiwa centers. To sustain and expand these programs, the President approved a ₱5 billion budget allocation to support infrastructure improvements, including warehouse repairs and expanded distribution networks.
The agency’s procurement, boosted by the Price Range Scheme for Palay Procurement , is projected to help achieve the required buffer stocks by the year’s end.
