NFA to sell rice to local governments at P36 per kilo starting February

The National Food Authority (NFA) will sell rice to local government units at P36 per kilo starting February 2025. This decision follows a resolution from the National Price Coordinating Council due to rising rice prices. In March, the price ceiling for NFA rice will be set at P35 per kilo, with plans to lower it to P33 in Metro Manila and other major cities. The NFA currently has 300,000 tons of rice stock, which is assured to be of high quality and sufficient for the year.
