P29 /kg rice available to limited sector only - pwd, seniors, beneficiaries for 4ps at Kadiwa stores

"Food for every ones table and every homes"

In order to succeed, one must keep his word.   Palabra de Honor

The Pres. probably ordered Kadiwa through DA to sell such rice to limited sector of society at only P29.00/kg to limited sector of society:   PWD, Seniors and 4ps beneficiary.

This is probably subsidized by DA budget, and artificial?  Not sustainable

Sec Proceso Alcala said before the Congress budget hearing that Phil is now 96% self sufficient and hopes to achieve 98% by the end of 2014. He regrets that we were able to reach only 96% and not the goal of 100% in 2013 because of typhoon Yolanda.

The sufficiency rose from 82% to 96% in three years which is an achievement.  In 2014,  he said rice harvest was at 18 t million metric tons which is the highest so far.
