                    [Title] => NFA intensifies palay buying operations
                    [Summary] => National  Food  Authority  Administrator Arthur C. Yap instructed yesterday the  agency’s  field  offices to maximize the mobilization of all logistics and  manpower  resources to intensify buying operations as the main harvest peaks.


Additional  mobile  buying  teams  will be deployed in palay production areas  to  augment  the  agency’s 500 teams currently serving remote areas. "These procurement teams have also been ordered to go all-out in buying the produce of the farmers even beyond regular office hours to be able to cater to  more farmers," Yap said.

                    [Summary] => Rice sales in the Bigasan ni Gloria sa Palengke (BGP) and the Coconut Farmers Food Access Program (CFFAP) rice outlets have increased substantially.


National Food Authority Administrator Arthur C. Yap reported the increase in sales last month which he attributed to the high selling price of rice in the other outlets with the onset of the lean months and the concentration of NFA’s rice distribution in outlets inside markets through the BGP.
