KORONADAL CITY, Sept 11 (PIA) -- South Cotabato's National Food Authority will intensify procurement of produce from local rice farmers this week. | |||
Angelina Lucena, assistant manager of NFA South Cotabato said, besides the continuous buying of palay in Koronadal City, they will start accepting deliveries in two additional sites in the upper valley area starting September. | |||
NFA South Cotabato has already rented one warehouse in Norala and another in Surallah towns for the produce bought from the two municipalities and neighboring places. | |||
She said the procurement team and the warehouses will be in full operational capacity this week to achieve their target of 168,000 bags by the end of December 2011. | |||
NFA buys palay at P17.40 per kilo from farmers and P17.70 from accredited farmer associations and cooperatives. | |||
Prevailing buying prices of commercial traders here range from P15 to P15.50 only. | |||
Lucena added measures to prevent unscrupulous commercial traders from exploiting the program exclusively for farmers and their organizations have been put in place. | |||
Among these control measures are strict implementation of documentation requirements, verification processes, random checking and many others. | |||
Officials of NFA South Cotabato have also repeatedly appealed to farmers in the province not to allow traders to use them as conduits of illegal activities. | |||
She said only the legitimate farmers and their organizations should be able to avail of the higher price the government offers for their produce. | |||
This year, South Cotabato receives no allocation from imported rice but NFA and agricultural officials here are confident local production will be more than sufficient to supply local requirements. (PIA 12) | |||
