00:00 Some groups are being called to resign because of the low tariff of rice.

00:09 In the case of rice, it is impossible to lower the tariff. The target price is 29 pesos per kilo.

00:16 Mav Gonzalez was informed.

00:22 Some groups are being called to resign because of the low tariff of rice, corn, pork and chicken.

00:35 Secretary Balisacan is not thinking straight. He should rest first.

00:42 Because we are being attacked from behind.

00:45 The farmers are the backbone of the economy. The backbone of the process because of the poverty and the debt of the farmers.

00:52 They are asking for a face-to-face meeting with President Bongbong Marcos.

00:56 They were not consulted by NEDA and it did not pass the tariff commission.

01:01 So if the President signs this, they will be questioned and they will be given a temporary restraining order against this.

01:08 It is impossible to lower the tariff of rice to 29 pesos per kilo because the tariff will be lowered from 35% to 15%.

01:17 We think that NEDA is giving the President false hopes.

01:21 That's why we feel that before the President thinks of issuing an extensive order,

01:28 he should listen to us first even if the process is reversed.

01:31 So that we will not put our concerns to the side.

01:35 According to the Sinag Group or Samahang Industriya ng Agrikultura,

01:39 the government will still need a subsidy to reach 29 pesos per kilo of rice.

01:45 This means that a 21-peso subsidy is needed to reach 29 pesos per kilo of rice.

01:51 This is equivalent to 22 billion pesos per month that the government will spend.

01:56 The price of rice will be lowered to be included in the imported.

02:00 And it is estimated that 86 billion pesos will be lost to the local farmers.

02:05 According to the government, the NFA will buy the production of local farmers.

02:10 But the group says that only 5% of the NFA can buy.

02:14 So what if the farmers will be able to buy in October?

02:18 What about the remaining? Does this mean that the price of rice will be lowered?

02:25 Because they don't have money to buy.

02:28 So that is a big problem.

02:32 They say that the government has a fund to buy,

02:41 but they will only have it for a maximum of 15 days.

02:45 The rice will just start, they will not be able to buy.

02:49 Some hog farmers are also losing their desire to breed pigs again.

02:53 The NFA has hit us. Instead of supporting us,

02:58 they have lowered the price of rice to lower the importation.

03:04 So what we can share is that after 4 years,

03:08 will the price of pigs go down? No.

03:12 The continuous smuggling problem is still a problem.

03:15 The affected will not only farm.

03:18 The NFA is also losing 65 billion pesos per year in the Bureau of Customs

03:24 in the products that will lower the price of rice.

03:26 We are still trying to get the NFA.

03:29 For GMA Integrated News, Mav Gonzalez was on the news for 24 hours.
