NFA warns traders on rice supplies

State-run National Food Authority (NFA) on Wednesday called on its employees to be vigilant for any unwarranted movements in rice supply and prices, as it warned unscrupulous traders from taking advantage of the current situation in the grains industry.

“We can never tell when this situation may be taken advantage of by some unscrupulous elements in the rice industry . . . at this time when harvest are still low,” NFA Administrator Orlan Calayag said.
