New packaging system to improve rice storage
The Philippine Star
|October 18, 2025
The government’s new packaging system for the Philippines’ rice stocks would help improve storage and post-harvest handling of the country’s buffer supply, according to the National Food Authority.
NFA administrator Larry Lacson led the pilot launch of the one-ton palay bagging system in the province, one of three pilot areas along with Occidental Mindoro and Davao del Sur.
“Based on our initial records, the use of tonner bags will free up space of around 25 percent,” Lacson said during the event.
