00:00The price of onions suddenly skyrocketed, reaching Php 200 per kilo.

00:09But the Sinan group said that it shouldn't be that expensive because the farm gate price is cheap.

00:16And they also told us not to raise onions anymore.

00:19The Agriculture Department's spokesman, Mackie Pulido, said,

00:25Just by the smell, you'll be amazed if you have sautéed onions.

00:30That's why it's one of the favorite flavors of many Filipinos in food.

00:34But this February, it was sold at a high price, reaching Php 200 per kilo.

00:41It was priced up to Php 50 compared to the price last January.

00:45They said there's not enough rice, that's why the red onions are expensive.

00:50That's why Robert, if the onions were stocked for a month before, now it's better to buy it.

00:56It's good for one week, for the next payday, you can buy it again.

01:02The Sinan group said that the farm gate price is cheap,

01:07which is Php 90 per kilo for the red onions and Php 40 for the white onions.

01:13That's why in the market, the price of red onions should not exceed Php 150 per kilo.

01:19Despite the longstanding problem,

01:21traders and not onion farmers are benefiting from the price increase.

01:26The trader is also the group that imports,

01:30he also has call storages, he also has a retail chain.

01:34It means that there are many names, but if you divide it,

01:38only a few groups have control.

01:42Traders and onion farmers are being threatened by the announcement of the Department of Agriculture last January

01:47that the price of onions will increase by Php 4,000 metric tons.

01:50The Sinan group said, I hope you don't increase the price of onions

01:53because it's time for harvest and there's no shortage.

01:56That's also what traders are using,

01:58so that they can sell it at a cheaper price,

02:02instead of getting in trouble because there are imports.

02:05The Department of Agriculture said that if the price of onions does not increase,

02:08the price may increase to Php 300 per kilo.

02:12It is also not cheap for onion farmers

02:14because the Php 90 per kilo farm gain is already high.

02:17If you compare it to Php 140-150 last January,

02:21because there is an expected deficit of Php 7,000 metric tons,

02:27if it did not announce that there will be importation,

02:30it can easily go to Php 300.

02:33And because onions are not the only expensive,

02:35some vendors are just discarding them.

02:38What we are discarding now is the taste.

02:41Because this is tastier, more delicious, and it's cheaper.

02:45For example, ma'am, in one potahi,

02:50we put two onions, we just made one.
