TANDAG CITY, Dec. 26 (PIA) – The National Food

supply for the entire duration of the long holiday break.
A total of 102,449 bags in stock inventory are
available in all their warehouses located in Cantilan, Bislig City and Tandag
City, NFA Provincial Manager May Sara Atomar said.
These are broken down into local rice at 5,171
bags and imported ones at 97,278 bags.
Atomar added that NFA rice remains to be sold at
P27 per kilo for regular-milled and P32 for well-milled.
On the other hand, the modal retail price of
commercial rice ranges from P39-P47 per kilo depending on the variety, she

In NFA parlance, modal price means the most
frequently occurring price in a particular market, it was learned. (NGBT/Radyo
