DA sees no price increase in rice despite storms, Habagat
Agricultural damage due to recent weather disturbances has ballooned to P1.12 billion, affecting 45,408 farmers and fisherfolk.
The volume of production loss has reached 26,566 metric tons across 43,741 hectares.
Rice accounts for the largest portion of the damage, but DA spokesperson Assistant Secretary Arnel de Mesa stated that the sector can easily recover as most crops are partially damaged and in the early vegetative stage.
De Mesa also assured that the DA does not foresee any retail price increase in rice due to sufficient stock.
Occidental Mindoro sustained the highest damage cost at P65 million in the previous report, but the new article lists multiple affected regions across the country.
