Palay farmgate price falls 24.6% in 2025

THE farmgate price of dry palay (unmilled rice) dropped 24.6% in 2025 to a national average of P17.70 per kilo, according to preliminary data from the Philippine Statistics Authority.

The highest palay prices in 2025 were posted in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao at P20.67 per kilo, the only region to register a price above P20.

The lowest palay price last year was logged in Calabarzon at P14.14 per kilo, well below the P21.30 average in 2024. The 33.6% decline was the biggest of any region in 2025.

In Central Luzon, the top rice producing region, the average farmgate price of palay in 2025 was P17.13 per kilo, down 28.8%.

Cagayan Valley, another major producer of the staple grain, posted an average farmgate price of P16.48 per kilo, down 30.3%.

The Department of Agriculture said the steep drop in palay farmgate prices was due to excess rice supply following record import volumes in 2024 and large shipments in early 2025. — Vonn Andrei E. Villamiel

Australian regulators ease regulations on stablecoin intermediaries

Australian regulators ease regulations on stablecoin intermediaries

PANews reported on September 18th that, according to Decrypt, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) has granted a regulatory exemption to stablecoin intermediaries, allowing them to distribute cryptocurrencies issued by licensed Australian institutions without having to hold a separate financial services license. The exemption, published Thursday, states that intermediaries distributing stablecoins issued by Australian Financial Services (AFS) licensed issuers no longer need to apply for separate AFS, market, or clearing facility licenses. This measure, effective upon registration of federal legislation, is a significant step forward in addressing Australia's regulatory challenges in the stablecoin market. Blockchain APAC CEO Steve Vallas stated that this move is a temporary transition before broader reforms and is consistent with financial services law. The exemption does not change the determination of whether stablecoins are financial products, but simply "suspends the secondary licensing requirement for distributors of licensed issuers," allowing distribution through licensed channels while maintaining issuer liability and requiring intermediaries to provide product disclosure statements to ensure transparency.
