The Philippines’ National Food Authority raised its buying price for clean, dry palay to 28–30 pesos per kilogram and increased the procurement ceiling for individual farmers from 200 to 500 bags per cropping season. The agency targets procurement of 790,000 metric tons this year and in 2027, as authorities encourage planting and seek to strengthen rice stocks amid drought and a looming El Niño.
Higher government procurement prices and expanded buying can support farmer incentives and domestic palay supply, while drought risk threatens production. The measures are supportive of Philippine rice prices, though stronger procurement may also bolster stocks.
