The Department of Agriculture (DA) said on Wednesday the P20-per-kilogram rice program has been launched in Guimaras and is now available in the province.
The provincial government has identified qualified beneficiaries, each of whom may purchase up to 10 kg of rice per month, the DA said.
An initial order of 5,000 sacks has been placed with the government-owned Food Terminal Inc., which will source the rice from the National Food Authority, the DA added.
