Caritas Philippines urged the government to provide additional support to farmers amid the high prices of onions in the market.
The humanitarian and advocacy arm of the Catholic Church made the statement as prices of local red onions now ranged between P500 to P720 per kilogram, while local white onions are priced at P600.
“This will make them more competitive with producers from other countries who are already receiving large subsidies and other forms of support from their government,” he added.
