Andres said: &#8220;there are guidelines on the suggested retail price (SRP) of milled rice which must be followed\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>She urged all stakeholders to cooperate in the nationwide implementation of this measure.<\/p>\n<p>To date, the current SRP for milled rice is PHP44 per kilo for local and PHP 39 per kilo for imported variety. A premium grade is pegged at PHP47.<\/p>\n<p>The NFA has also reiterated to strictly comply with trading rules and regulations particularly on following the SRP and put on price tags and rice box labels accordingly.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, Department of Agriculture (DA) Secretary Emmanuel Pi\u00f1ol, who is now directly supervising NFA, ordered agency officials in the regions to take stock of their localities&#8217; rice situation and report on their respective rice inventories.<\/p>\n<p>Pi\u00f1ol also told NFA officials to report their action on alleged hoarding and diversion of NFA rice stocks. He said a one-strike policy will be imposed on NFA officials who would be proven to be unscrupulous.<\/p>\n<p>Amid the series of typhoons, the Provincial Agriculture Office assured that there is enough supply of rice in the province.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LAOAG CITY\u00a0&#8212; The National Food Authority (NFA) intensified its efforts to monitor rice prices in various parts of the province &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":44,"featured_media":189193,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16,95],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-189192","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news","category-news-ph","mauthors-leilanie-adriano","mauthors-philippine-news-agency"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/189192","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/44"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=189192"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/189192\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/189193"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=189192"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=189192"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=189192"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
