MANILA, April 14 (Reuters) – The Philippines’ state grains agency, the National Food Authority (NFA), has proposed importing 330,000 tonnes of rice to cover an expected deficit in the country’s buffer stock, a statement from the presidential palace said on Friday.
The NFA needs to beef up its buffer stock for future relief operations in the event of calamities, it said.
