No inedible Thai rice entered PH – NFA

The National Food Authority (NFA) on Wednesday assured the public that no substandard rice from Thailand entered the country as part of the government-to-government rice procurement deal last year.

To recall, Manila has imported about 500,000 metric tons (MT) of rice in September 2014. Some 300,000 MT tons of the supply were awarded to Thailand and the remaining 200,000 MT tons to Vietnam.
