THE prices of rice and vegetables have gone down, officials of the Department of Agriculture (DA), Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), and Quezon City local government said following a joint inspection at the Commonwealth Public Market.

Rice was being sold "at maximum suggested retail price (MSRP) guidelines at P55, P54, P45, P42, and P40. This is a good sign. For tomatoes, one stall was selling at P30 per kilogram (kg), the highest at P50," DA Secretary Francisco Tiu Laurel Jr. said.
