Instead of storing it, why not just give it away?
A farmers' group on Wednesday urged the Aquino administration to just distribute excess rice in National Food Authority’s (NFA) warehouses to the more than 4 million Filipino families that went hungry at least once in the past quarter.
Felix Paz, chairman of the Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas-Bikol said, distributing the excess rice for free would ensure that it would not go to waste.
“If we are indeed swimming in rice, then the Aquino government should just distribute the excess rice for free so that it will not go to waste. It is the best way to resolve this dilemma and is hitting two birds with one stone. The excess rice will be utilized and the poor will be given food even for just a few days," he said in a statement.
NFA chief Lito Banayo earlier said the previous administration imported P100 million worth of rice even though the nation had enough rice supply for the year.
