                    [Summary] => The National Food Authority (NFA) is launching a grains trading system that will enable farmers to hold on to their rice stocks and use these as collateral for acquiring loans.


Presidential Adviser on Agricultural Modernization Angelito M. Sarmiento said the scheme calls for the NFA to issue trust receipts that the Land Bank of the Philippines (LBP) previously agreed to accept as collateral.


"NFA plans to issue trust receipt to farmers who might want to sell their unhusked rice or palay to NFA during this wet season harvest," Sarmiento said.
