The price of red onions exceeded P700 a kilo in some markets in Metro Manila on Wednesday, as the Department of Agriculture said that the onion supply in the country was only enough for four days.
In Bernadette Reyes’ “24 Oras” report on Wednesday, the DA held a meeting with the onion farmers to address the increasing prices of onions and the possibility of importation, with the country's onion supply at only about 2,209.45 metric tons as of December 15, enough for four days.
“Tayo po ngayon ay dumidiretso sa ating mga onion farmers… This is also our way of protecting them para alam po natin ang fear nila if bumaha ng importation, and we don’t want that,” DA assistant secretary Kristine Evangelista said. The DA is now coordinating with the onion farmers to sell in the market and Kadiwa stores at a more affordable price starting December 30.
