WALA umanong kakulangan sa suplay ng pagkain sa Luzon at aabot umano sa dalawang buwan ang itatagal ng mga naka-stock sa warehouse ng mga manufacturer at distributor.
Sa sulat na ipinadala kay House committee on trade and industry chairman at Valenzuela Rep. Wes Gatchalian sinabi ng Philippine Association of Meat Processors, Inc. na walang shortage sa suplay.
“Manufacturers and distributors have sufficient inventories in their warehouses that can last for 2 months,” saad ng PAMPI.
Umapela naman ang PAMPI na pabilisin ang biyahe ng kanilang mga delivery na hinaharang sa mga checkpoint.
Sinabi rin ng Philippine Association of Flour Millers na tuloy-tuloy ang delivery ng mga suplay sa mga bakery sa Luzon.
“While there were initial difficulties on product movement, the situation has eased up and deliveries has since been unhampered,” saad ng PAFMIL.
Sa 6.9 milyong bag ng arina na nagagawa buwan-buwan 70 porsyento ang hard flour na ginagamit sa pandesal.
“The government must be proactive in laying the national policy to sustain the continued and unhampered importation of materials, manufacture, supply and distribution of agricultural products, food supplies, and other essential products, because, inasmuch as we want this COVID-19 crisis to be over the soonest, until we are able to completely stop its transmission, the health emergency continues as well as the quarantine. With all the people locked up in the confines of their homes, the requirement for food and basic supplies continue unabated. Hence it is important that our food production/supply industry must be constant and provided the utmost support of our government,” ani Gatchalian.
Sinabi ni Gatchalian na dapat maging malinaw sa mga checkpoint ang polisiya kaugnay ng pagpapadaan ng delivery ng pagkain.
“Based on the DTI Memorandum Circular, the movement of all types of cargoes, food and non-food, within, to and from the entire Luzon shall be unhampered,” dagdag pa ng solon.
