00:00Evening I am William Theo and this is PTV News Now. Ginger root along with
00:05garlic and shallots or red onions round up a holy trinity of spice ingredients
00:11in the Filipino kitchen and the current dearth or severe lack of local ginger
00:16root supply to meet the climbing demand has said cost of this kitchen ingredient
00:21essential through the roof in public markets in the NCR and elsewhere. Worse, a
00:26huge slowdown in the importation of ginger root has led to already high
00:31prices soaring. DA Assistant Secretary and spokesperson Arnel de Mesa told
00:36Senate Majority Floor Leader Francisco Lentino in his radio program on the
00:41confluence of factors low local production yield and importation and
00:46severely limited supply from importation that have sent ginger root prices sky
00:51high. Ginger root importation fell 92% from 5,000 metric tons in 2021 to 400
00:59metric tons this year as such retail prices for ginger root rocketed
01:03skyward climbing 173% up to 213% from farm gate prices of between 120 pesos to
01:12150 pesos per kilo to 250 as much as 320 per. For his part, Senator Francis
01:21Lentino cited the growing popularity of cellulary products like turmeric that
01:26promote good health for the increasing demand for ginger root and its
01:30byproducts. DA spokesperson de Mesa and Senator Lentino both agreed the only
01:36long-lasting fix to the supply problem is more post harvest and cold storage
01:41facilities. Meanwhile SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk has threatened blowback on
01:49Apple by outlawing his devices in all his companies after the iPhone maker
01:55announced a partnership with OpenEye, a company Musk co-founded in 2015 and
02:01eventually stepped down from as a board member in 2018. Apple and OpenEye being
02:06able to provide full and iron cloud protection to user information. Apple CEO
02:12Tim Cook in response Apple said is using its own AI and its integration with
02:18OpenEye is an optional feature. Musk made it clear that visitors to his
02:22companies carrying Apple devices will be asked to leave them at the lobby or with
02:27the reception. And now let's turn to my colleague in PTV's Pine City Studios for
