BY RENE GENOVE

The National Food Authority in Negros Oriental reassured the public, especially the identified beneficiaries under the Rice Allocation Ledger, of sufficiency in rice supply for poor families.

The current rice stock inventory puts its supply at 51,998 rice bags, which, the NFA said, is enough for the rice needs of the province.  It is also expecting more rice shipments soon, Rolando Lazalita of NFA said.

Majority of the rice stocks are iron-fortified rice for the Food for School program.
