Filipino households may expect the availability of rice that cost P29 per kilo, according to the Department of Agriculture , as additional Kadiwa Stores are being set up in various areas nationwide. “Matagal nang plano na palawigin ang P29 program. Ngayong araw nagsimula na tayo sa Bacoor, San Pedro, Laguna at Cavite. Sa Agosto, magsisimula na sa Visayas at Mindanao. Base sa plano, by November mas malawak pa,” said DA Assistant Secretary Arnel De Mesa on Darlene Cay’s report on "24 Oras.
“We want to get critical information sa challenges sa demand, supply, logistics at admin concerns. The past three weeks, nakita ang concerns. Like saan dapat maglagay ng maraming supply,” said De Mesa. The P29 program, the DA said, is only available to 4Ps members, senior citizens, PWDs, and single parents. Meanwhile, De Mesa added that consumers may expect a decrease in rice prices in August due to the implementation of Executive Order 62 which lowered the tariff on imported rice.
