Lacson said the NFA has been ramping up the renovation of warehouses amid reports of traders’ purchase of palay at low prices across the country.
The development of modern warehouses is crucial for the agricultural sector, as it enables the efficient storage and distribution of crops. With the increasing demand for food security, investments in agricultural infrastructure are essential for ensuring the country’s self-sufficiency in rice production, Lacson said.
