Rice on wheels

The Department of Trade and Industry, in coordination with Bulacan rice millers and traders, are rolling out the ‘Rice on Wheels Program for Retailers’ to ensure the availability of affordable regular and well-milled rice to the general public. Through this caravan, the DTI targets to supply retailers in the public market with affordable rice stock. Before the roll-out in different public markets on Sept. 11, 2023, the DTI launches the program in Quezon City on Friday, with a simultaneous dry-run in public markets in Makati, Parañaque and Manila.
