Sale of NFA rice to LGUs illegal
The Philippine Star
|January 16, 2025
The National Food Authority (NFA)'s plan to sell rice stocks to local government units (LGUs) is illegal, a farmer's group said yesterday.
Federation of Free Farmers (FFF) national manager Raul Montemayor said the government needs to declare a food emergency to warrant the sale of NFA rice at negotiated prices.
Montemayor noted that there is a provision under Section 4 of Republic Act (RA) 12708, the Agricultural Tariffication Act, which explicitly states that the disposal of aging NFA stocks can be done through public auction.
