Dear Angel Galitan,

Greetings!

Thank you for your request dated Apr 07, 2020 12:25:42 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.

Your request

You asked for The list of authorized rice miller in Laguna and Batangas.

Response to your request

While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, we no longer have the list of rice millers in areas that you requested. With the passage of Republic Act 11203 or the Rice Tariffication Law in February 2019, the regulatory functions of the NFA was repealed and therefore we no longer issue licenses or registration to businessmen engaged in the rice industry (ricemillers, retailers, wholesalers, etc). 

The functions of the NFA is now limited to palay procurement from local farmers and buffer stocking for emergencies and calamities.
