MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0— There should be closer coordination between the Department of Agriculture (DA) and the National Food Authority (NFA) following President Rodrigo R. Duterte\u2019s signing of an executive order returning the NFA back to its original agency, Malaca\u00f1ang said on Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re hoping that with NFA, Philippine Coconut Authority, and the Fertilizer and Pesticide Authority (FPA) back in the DA\u00a0ay magkakaroon po ng<\/em>\u00a0(there would be) closer coordination sa panig ng (between) DA\u00a0at ng mga ahensiya na<\/em>\u00a0closely\u00a0naman<\/em>\u00a0(and agencies closely) associated with agriculture,\u201d Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said in a Palace briefing.<\/p>\n

The NFA, PCA and the FPA were placed under the Office of the President (OP) during the administration of then president Benigno Aquino III.<\/p>\n

\u201cDati-dati naman po talaga itong tatlong ahensiya na ito ay nasa ilalim ng<\/em>\u00a0Department of Agriculture\u00a0nahiwalay lang po yan ng panahon na kinakailangan bigyan ng trabaho si<\/em>\u00a0Senator (Francis) Pangilinan (In the past, these agencies were originally under the DA, they were only transferred to the OP to give Senator Francis Pangilinan a job),\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Aquino appointed Pangilinan as Presidential Assistant for Food Security and Agricultural Modernization during his term.<\/p>\n

Roque said with the NFA now under the DA, there should also be more \u201cefficient\u201d determination on the factors, which would require the importation of rice.<\/p>\n

\u201cInaasahan natin na mas magiging<\/em>\u00a0efficient\u00a0ang<\/em>\u00a0determination\u00a0kung kelan kinakailangan mag angkat ng bigas dahil ang datos mismo ay hawak ng<\/em>\u00a0Department of Agriculture\u00a0kung magkano ang nai-<\/em>produce\u00a0ng mga lokal na magsasaka at kung magkano pa ang kinakailangan maangkat<\/em>\u00a0(We expect that there would be a more efficient determination when there is a need to import rice because the DA now keeps the data on how much rice our local farmers produce and how much we need to import),\u201d Roque said.<\/p>\n

Roque pointed out that the DA should now be able to streamline the importation process amid issues concerning the country’s rice supply.<\/p>\n

DA should also ensure that there is enough supply and protect local farmers from cheaper rice imports, he added.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, Duterte signed EO No.<\/p>\n

The EO also reorganizes the NFA Council by designating the DA Secretary as chairman of the council, the NFA Administrator as vice chairman, and a representative from the OP, and the Secretaries of Finance, Department of Trade and Industry, and Social Welfare and Development as members of the council.<\/p>\n

Other members of the council include the Director General of the National Economic and Development Authority, Governor of Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, President of the Land Bank of the Philippines, and a representative from the farmers\u2019 sector.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
