(b) Provide comprehensive guidance for the development of the industry in all its aspects, delineating and coordinating the respective roles of both Government and private sectors and their respective components and earmarking adequate financing from credit resources to support the program: Provided, however, That the credit resources contemplated in this Act for the development of the grains industry shall be complementary and supplementary to those earmarked under existing laws. (c) Encourage the adoption, in the production, processing and marketing phases, of such proven systems as will reduce costs and improve the quality of these grains and thereby bring about ultimately reasonable prices within the reach of the great masses of the people. (d) Institute measures to fully establish the integrity and assure the negotiability of warehouse receipts evidencing grains in storage. (e) limit its participation only to such extent and in such phases of the operations of the industry as the private sector has not shown capability to adequately perform its function and discharge its responsibility, particularly in the stabilization of producers' and consumers' prices. (f) Adopt measures of the grains industry.
