Jonathan Cellona, ABS-CBN News</div>MANILA — The price of well-milled rice sold under the Rice-For-All Program will decrease to P43 from P45 per kilo, the Department of Agriculture (DA) announced on Thursday. Selling of rice at P43 per kilo under the program will start on Friday in Kadiwa sa Pangulo sites in Luzon. <div><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/business/2024/7/31/p45-per-kilo-rice-to-be-sold-in-select-kadiwa-stores-starting-august-1629">• P45 per kilo rice to be sold in select Kadiwa Stores starting August</a></div>DA Spokesperson Assistant Secretary Arnel De Mesa told reporters that the price adjustment comes as the prevailing price of rice in markets is on a decline. The Agriculture Department said average prices of locally-produced regular and well-milled rice are pegged at P45 to P48 per kilo. Imported rice is sold at P42 to P45 per kilo. “Itong rice for all, binababaan lang natin ang presyo kasi nakakita na tayo ng pagbaba sa merkado eh sa presyo ng bigas. 13 to 20 percent lower lagi ang Kadiwa products natin in terms of prices. Yung bigas natin normally 5 peso lower sa prevailing market prices,” De Mesa said. Aside from its Rice-For-All Program, select Kadiwa sites continue to sell aging rice stocks of the National Food Authority for P29 per kilo. DA will be adding 20 additional Kadiwa sites that will offer cheaper rice compared to market prices. The following Kadiwa sites will be selling rice every day for P43 and P29 starting October 11: 1.
