NFAand SoCot rice prices roll back

KORONADAL CITY
(Sept. 8) – Here’s one good news from the National Food Authority (NFA).

Guilaluden
Usman, NFA-South Cotabato provincial manager, said the price of commercial rice
had gone down by P4 to P5 per kilo.

He said the
Filipino’s staple sells at P49 to P50 per kilo but to date it costs P44 to P45
a kilo in South Cotabato while NFA rice remains at P27 and P32 per kilo.

Usman
attributed the price rollback to the market injection of NFA rice.

He stressed
that NFA rice does not compete with rice traders but provide options for consumers. (NDBC)
