NFA-Quirino targets 10,000 bags of ‘palay’

CABARROGUIS, Quirino: The National Food Authority (NFA) expressed concern over its difficulty in buying palay (unmilled rice) direct from farmers as the agency targets 10,000 bags to ensure supply during the lean months.

Antonio Macato, NFA provincial manager, said they have been exerting all efforts to ensure the availability of quality cheap rice in the market during the coming months when supply becomes low but have difficulty because of lower buying price the agency could offer farmers.
