[Title] => NFA rolling stores sell P3.2-B in 10 months
[Summary] => National Food Authority Administrator Anthony Abad has created a task force that would monitor the daily activities of the Tindahan ni Gloria Labandera rolling stores to ensure that cheap but quality rice being sold through these stores would really go to the poor who are its target beneficiaries.
The task force was created as early as April following reports on the diversion of NFA rice by the agency’s partners in the private sector.

[Title] => NFA allows farmers to import rice
[Summary] => Farmers’ groups will be allowed to import regular rice this year, National Food Authority Administrator Anthony Abad said yesterday.
"It will most likely be a 50-50 sharing," Abad said, adding that government wants to give farmers’ groups more opportunities to earn.
The NFA has yet to announce this year’s import schedule.
There will, however, be no restrictions to the purchase of premium rice by private companies. Unlike regular rice, an NFA import permit is not needed to purchase premium rice.

[Title] => Rice supply enough — NFA
[Summary] => National Food Authority Administrator Anthony Abad bared yesterday that the food agency remains vigilant in the management of the country’s rice reserves for food security.
Abad issued the statement even as he clarified that the country is not experiencing a shortage of the commodity as erroneously cited by a news report. Moreover, the government has no definite plans of importing rice, at least for now.
"Although there could be a disparity between local production as against our requirements, we cannot declare there is a shortage," Abad stressed.

[Title] => Palay output to hit 12.9-M tons this year
[Summary] => The Department of Agriculture projected yesterday palay (paddy rice) output to hit 12.9 million metric tons this year, up from an earlier projection of 12.7 million tons and much better than last year’s actual production of 12.39 million metric tons.
Agriculture Secretary Leonardo Q. Montemayor attributed the favorable output to good weather and government’s timely interventions in terms of credit, certified seeds, irrigation and other planting necessities.
