NFA assures enough rice supply
BAGUIO CITY, Philippines — With weather disturbances coming in succession, the National Food Authority (NFA) assured the public that there is enough stockpile of rice for the rest of the rainy season, especially in Baguio and Benguet.
In an interview, NFA Baguio-Benguet Manager Rolando Rufo said they have programmed the purchasing of rice supply for the whole year, and at present there is a stockpile that could last for nine months based on the average regular consumption of the people in the Baguio-Benguet area.
To date, NFA has a total stockpile of 48,579 sacks of both local and imported rice, including 7,614 sacks of I-rice and Iron-fortified rice in Loakan and Kadiwa warehouses.
Rufo said that in the past years, NFA distributes 2,000 to 4,000 sacks of rice a month during the rainy season or what is called the lean months, but last month they only disposed about 500 sacks, which means that there is also surplus inventory of rice in commercial stalls and in households.
Rufo said NFA has launched an aggressive campaign to promote I-rice in line with the government’s effort to address iron-deficiency among Filipino people, especially in the countryside.
“We have been advocating iron fortified rice before, though back then it is only on areas where there are high prevalence of iron deficiency or for Food for School program, but now we are mandated to promote it to the general public,” Rufo said.
Even during times of emergencies like typhoons where roads leading to the city and Benguet are closed, delaying the delivery of basic supplies to the rural areas, Rufo claimed local warehouses have sufficient rice stocks that could last for several weeks.
In cases of emergency situations, the NFA official claimed they always make sure that there will be substantial stocks of rice in warehouses that will be equitably distributed to the different retailers and in evacuation centers in order to cater to the demand of people for more rice.
