An Act Amending Republic Act No. 8178 or the Agricultural Tariffication Act of 1996 as Amended, and for Other Purposes
The proposal restores the National Food Authority’s powers to inspect grain warehouses, seize hoarded rice, register and license rice‑related businesses, and to sell up to 25 % of its rice buffer each month while buying rice only from registered local farmers; it also lets the Department of Agriculture set a minimum price for palay and bans local governments from buying imported rice.
