Attendees of the said seminar included Municipal Agriculturists, members of the Department of Trade and Industry, and the Department of the Interior and Local Government.
This initiative was conducted to ensure that the monitoring team is well-equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary in differentiating regular-milled and well-milled rice to aid the price monitoring in public markets.
During the seminar, participants were given mixed grains of rice they had to separate according to classification.
In her message delivered through Assistant Provincial Administrator Normal Alegarbes, Zamboanga del Norte Governor Rosalina “Nanay Nene” Jalosjos said that the rice classification is not only a requirement but a moral obligation of the provincial government to ensure the quality of rice for its citizens.
