|September 25, 2025
As the harvest season is starting to pick up, farmers are lamenting that the buying price of palay has fallen below P10 per kilo.
-
Simeon Sioson, chairman of the Four SM Agri Multipurpose Cooperative based in Barangay Lambakin in this town, yesterday told The STAR that before the price decreased, the farmgate price of the staple was at P14 or P15 per kilo.
The town of San Miguel is considered as the rice granary of Bulacan. However, Sioson said that several days ago, the farmgate price of newly harvested palay went down to only P6 or P8 per kilo.
