THE public may adjust their diet and find alternatives for rice amid its rising prices, an official said Wednesday, August 16, 2023.
He clarified, though, that he was not making a proposal but merely citing a study by the University of the Philippines, to which he served as president, where rice-corn mix was used to promote the idea of using alternatives for rice. Based on the monitoring of the Department of Agriculture , well-milled local commercial rice is sold at P42 to P52 per kilo in markets in Metro Manila while regular milled local commercial rice at P38 to P50 per kilo.
Meanwhile, DA Undersecretary Mercedita Sombilla called for the importation of 500,000 metric tons of rice from November to January 2024, as some 200 hectares of rice areas might not be cultivated die to the El Niño phenomenon. Earlier, Marcos assured that the country has enough stockpile of rice that can even last until after the El Niño phenomenon in 2024.
