Agriculture Undersecretary Mercedita Sombilla said her unit, the DA’s Policy, Planning and Regulations office, is coming up with a dashboard that will enable public and industry stakeholders to access various data such as supply, demand, price, production and import volumes.“I’m hoping by the third quarter I will already have an operating dashboard for supply and demand, for prices, and inputs for the public,” Sombilla said.
The DA would be able to come up with projections for a specific period and make the necessary adjustments, if any, once the official data from the Philippine Statistics Authority comes out.
