Under the mobile procurement scheme, the NFA will pick up the farmers' palay in the agreed place and schedule.
"Operations starting from classifying of palay stocks, rebagging to NFA sack, weighing and payment will be done in the trading area in the presence of the individual farmer or the representatives of the cooperatives," said NFA Branch Office Acting Public Information Officer Salve Mae Agustin.
The scheme is free of charge and only needs proper coordination between the two parties.
She added that mobile teams travel to far-flung areas in the province to cater farmers who have good quality of stored palay but need support to transport their produce to the nearest buying stations.
