SANTIAGO CITY,Isabela- The National Food Authority (NFA) 2 has launched a mobile palay buying system starting this cropping season, to enable the agency to meet its procurement program this year. | |||
NFA Regional Director Ruben Reside said the agency will directly buy palay harvest of farmers right at their doorstep as a way to help the farmers lessen their fare expenses in selling their palays. | |||
“The NFA mobile buying system was conceptualized due to competition of private palay traders where they have higher prices than NFA," Reside said. | |||
He said the NFA buying price is pegged at P17 per kilo of dried palay, while private traders’ buying price are higher than the NFA. | |||
The NFA has targeted to buy this year 1.5 million bags of palay to be a buffer stock of the agency for future consumption. | |||
Reside said the strategy to buy palay right at the doorstep of farmers was conceptualized by the agency to fill the buffer stock of the agency. The mobile NFA buying team will penetrate barangays to buy palay composed of a team leader, classifier, and cashier using NFA trucks. | |||
The agency, in February this year, has supplied 400,000 bags of rice at the National Capital region to augment the rice requirement of NCR. | |||
As of press time, the agency has a buffer stock of rice in the region that is good for 30 days. | |||
