Gov't agencies urged to directly procure palay
Business World Philippines
|November 07, 2025
THE departments of Agriculture (DA) and Agrarian Reform called on government agencies and government-owned or -controlled corporations (GOCCs) to procure palay (unmilled rice) directly from farmers in compliance with their legal obligations.
-
In a joint briefing, the two departments cited the importance of harnessing government procurement to support farmers and ensure they obtain fair prices for their grain.
The briefing was convened to discuss Executive Order (EO) 100, which directs officials to establish regional floor prices for palay, and EO 101, which pushes for the full implementation of the Sagip Saka Act to boost enterprise development among farmers and fisherfolk.
Republic Act No. 11321, or the Sagip Saka Act, requires government agencies and GOCCs to procure agricultural and fishery products directly from accredited Farmers and Fisherfolk Cooperatives and Enterprises.
The Sagip Saka process exempts procuring entities from public bidding rules.
