The Department of Agriculture (DA) said it expects the supply of meat, fish and other foods to be sufficient for the year-end holidays. “A big chunk of the supply comes from the locally-produced rice, and production of farmers will be enough to meet the demand towards the end of the year,” the department said in a press release. According to the DA, the National Food Authority will ensure sufficient rice on the market by managing the buffer stock.
