“My estimate is about P2-4 per kilo… It should stabilize or even go down a little when we start harvesting by September, so our gap is from now sat mid-September when we start harvesting and starts are available,” pahayag ni Fausto.
“If we cannot import immediately, then we will have a problem in supply and prices will go up cause right bow, the imported rice is something like P33 but last year [it was] only P23-24…the prices of imported rice now is higher than local rice sa palengke,” dagdag pa niya.
Saad pa ni Fausto, nakakaapekto rin umano sa produksyon at paggalaw ng presyo ng bigas hindi lang ang mga kalamidad at El Niño kundi pati na ang pagtaas ng presyo ng gasolina at wage increase kung saan apektado ang mga manufacturer o operator.
/”‘Di na sila magde-deliver, they will have vacant shelves, ‘di mo naman sila mapwersa kung palugi na sila mag-manufacture, magprocess,” paliwanag pa ni Fausto kung sakaling hindi mapagbigyan ng Department of Trade and Industry #DTI ang hiling ng mga manufacturer na taas-presyo sa bigas. #News5
