Agriculture Assistant Secretary Kristine Evangelista told the Inquirer on Thursday that these are the possible consequences facing non-compliant sellers or traders of the agricultural commodity in local markets.“What happens first is if a seller didn’t follow the SRP, she/he will be asked to submit a show cause . We will give them a letter of inquiry asking them why their prices are high,” Evangelista told the Inquirer in a phone interview.
“Then, it will be passed on to the adjudication . If there is a good reason why the prices are that way, then, we will go after the trader who sold them the onions at high prices,” she added.
