00:00The Department of Agriculture plans to implement the maximum suggested retail price for imported rice to avoid overpricing.
00:10Some vegetables, such as tomatoes, are expensive due to a lack of supply.
00:15Darlene Cai has the story.
00:20The imported rice per kilo will reach Php 65 per kilo in Kamuning Market in Quezon City.
00:25Retailers say the supply is really high.
00:28You can't lower the price if the supply is high.
00:31They should lower the price.
00:34The government should find a way.
00:36It should not reach Php 60 per kilo of imported rice if there is no profit-earing,
00:43according to Agriculture Secretary Francisco T. Lorel Jr.
00:46There should be no more than Php 60 of imported rice that can be found in the market.
00:50Php 60 of imported rice is already profit-earing in my opinion.
00:55The D.A. plans to implement the maximum suggested retail price or MSRP for imported rice before January ends.
01:01It's not a suggestion.
01:02It's like we are saying that this should be the maximum price.
01:07But it's not a price cap.
01:09We will be coming up with the maximum suggested retail price system very soon.
01:14The D.A. will cooperate with rice importers, retailers and other government agencies
01:18to establish MSRP for imported rice, where it will be implemented,
01:22and what will be the compensation of the importers here.
01:26Meanwhile, the price of some kinds of vegetables in the market is still the same.
01:31Php 20 per piece of tomato in the market of Tandang Sora
01:35is equivalent to half a kilo of rice.
01:38Php 280 to Php 300 per kilo of tomato in Tandang Sora, Quezon City.
01:42That's why Albert was able to buy only two pieces.
01:46The price of tomatoes is really high now.
01:48It's so expensive.
01:49That's why it's hard to earn.
01:50It's hard to budget.
01:51The market vendors are saying that the price of tomatoes is too high.
01:54That's why from the previous Php 10 per kilo,
01:56only Php 2 per kilo of tomatoes are being imported by Vilma to be sold.
02:00They said that their harvest is not enough.
02:05That's why it's like that.
02:06They said that it was flooded.
02:08The price of potatoes, carrots, bell peppers and eggplants also increased.
02:12The price of expensive tomatoes is not only a problem in Metro Manila,
02:15if not in other provinces.
02:17The DA said that there is a shortage of tomatoes.
02:20The price of some kinds of vegetables is also high
02:22because of the flood that was left by the typhoons last year.
02:25Because of series of typhoons last year,
02:29caused extensive damage to the crops in their vegetative and reproductive states,
02:36particularly in regions or areas producing the Solanaceous family crops
02:44such as tomatoes, bell peppers and chili peppers.
02:47This resulted in significant supply shortages.
02:50But it is expected that the price of tomatoes and other kinds of vegetables will return to normal
02:54before the end of January or the beginning of February
02:57due to the continuation of production.
02:59For GMA Integrated News, Darlene Cai,
