The Department of Agriculture has opened a rice market in Zamboanga and fish market in Bohol as part of efforts to slowly bring down prices of basic commodities in these areas. Agriculture Secretary Emmanuel Piñol said they have rolled out the TienDA Bigasan ng Masa in Zamboanga where consumers can buy freshly-milled rice at P32 per kilogram and newly-shipped NFA rice at P27 per kg. “Families will be allowed to buy five kg of NFA rice each while the DA freshly milled rice will be sold at P32 per kg with a limit of three kg per family,” Piñol said.
