SINAG: Aspiration to bring down rice price to P20/kilo shouldn’t depress farmgate pricesSINAG: Aim to bring down rice to P20/kilo shouldn’t depress farmgate prices
Farmers group Samahang Industriya ng Agrikultura on Thursday said that bringing down the price of rice to the government's goal of P20 a kilo should not come at the cost of bringing down farmgate prices as well.
“Can the government actually sustain and increase the volume of rice at P25/kilo being sold at Kadiwa?” Cainglet asked. He said the cost of producing rice has increased by P2 to P3 to about P16 to 17 per kilo due to rising fertilizers, fuels, and logistics costs.
