No disruptions to P20 rice logistics despite higher fuel prices — DA

THE Department of Agriculture (DA) said it does not expect any disruption to deliveries of rice for its P20-per-kilo rice program despite rising fuel prices that have increased logistics and transportation costs. Genevieve E. Velicaria-Guevarra, assistant secretary for agribusiness, marketing, and consumer affairs, said the program had sufficient logistical funding to absorb such cost increases.
