PALAYAN CITY, Nueva Ecija — The Nueva Ecija provincial government (NEPG) will start procuring locally-produced palay at a floor price of PHP15 a kilo which is slightly higher than prevailing price in private trading when the harvest starts this October.
This, as the NEPG puts up a PHP200-million fund for the program aimed at cushioning the impact of rice tariffication law among farmers.
Executive Order 05-s-2019 issued by Gov. Aurelio Umali on August 14, which created the provincial food council (PFC), recognizes that “agriculture is the primary industry in Nueva Ecija” thus, the province is known as the rice granary, aside from being onion capital of the Philippines.
