The task force was created as early as April following reports on the diversion of NFA rice by the agency’s partners in the private sector.

"It will most likely be a 50-50 sharing," Abad said, adding that government wants to give farmers’ groups more opportunities to earn.


The NFA has yet to announce this year’s import schedule.


There will, however, be no restrictions to the purchase of premium rice by private companies. Unlike regular rice, an NFA import permit is not needed to purchase premium rice.

"Although there could be a disparity between local production as against our requirements, we cannot declare there is a shortage," Abad stressed.
