Cebu ready for P20/kilo rice program

Cebu ready for P20/kilo rice program

Amid public skepticism and political criticism, the National Food Authority Central Visayas (NFA 7) guarantees that Cebu is ready for the P20 per kilo rice program. Acting Public Information Officer Olma Nedia said around 11,000 bags of rice have undergone strict quality inspection and are now secured in NFA warehouses for distribution to local government units. Nedia emphasized that the rice meets the standards of Republic Act 12078, with proper moisture content, clean grains, and classification done by trained NFA classifiers. The rice was sourced from the recent dry season harvests of local farmers, reinforcing the agency’s commitment to support Filipino producers while ensuring food security.
