Rice Prices Set for Decline
The Agri chief has announced that rice prices are expected to undergo a significant decline of up to P7 per kilo starting January. This forecast comes as the domestic harvest season peaks and as the overall market conditions in Southeast Asia show a notable softening. The local farmers' efforts, combined with adjustments in supply, are likely to influence these price changes.
Factors Influencing the Price Drop
- Increased domestic production
- Fluctuations in Southeast Asian market prices
- Government interventions to stabilize costs
As these elements converge, consumers can anticipate relief in rice expenses during the early part of next year.
