AMAS reported that it is now at Php350/kg while a Php20/kg increase was recorded on the price of whole chicken at Php200.In line with this, the cost of feed ingredients, particularly copra meal, yellow corn, and rice bran, increased compared to last month.For better monitoring of industry status and sounder drafting of policy recommendations, NBPC on PLC Chairperson Arnulfo Frontuna recommended the passing of a resolution that will include key industry players and private sector representatives in the Bantay Presyo Technical Committees. This will be in relation to the National Agriculture and Fisheries Council-Special Budget Committee’s resolution, recommending the reactivation of the Price and Volume Watch Committee.The Committee also recommended the conduct of retooling trainings on forecasting and data analysis of agri-fishery data for DA units such as the Bureau of Animal Industry, National Meat Inspection Service, National Corn Program, National Rice Program, and High Value Crops Development Program.Text and screenshot by Joy Camille LuzaFor more stories, visit www.pcaf.da.gov.ph/. ...
