00:00Aside from rice and pork, the Department of Agriculture has also studied the maximum suggested retail price for garlic.
00:09Let's take a look at the details of the on-the-spot production of Darlene Kai.
00:14Darlene?
00:18Connie, in the circulation of DA and DTI here in Megacue Market in Cubao, Quezon City,
00:22they saw that those who sell here are following the maximum suggested retail price or MSRP for pork meat.
00:30But they also admitted that the situation in other families in Metro Manila is not like that,
00:36which was dismissed by the Department of Agriculture.
00:40According to Agriculture Secretary Francisco T. Laurel,
00:43the compliance rate of the following pork retailers is only 30%.
00:47This is based on their price monitoring since the first implementation of pork MSRP on March 10.
00:52Based on the latest price monitoring released by the DA on March 27,
00:57the price of pork meat reached Php 450 per kilo while the price of pork meat reached Php 420 per kilo for the families in Metro Manila.
01:06This was dismissed by T. Laurel.
01:08They will meet later with the pork stakeholders to find out what the problem is.
01:14They are also ready to tighten the implementation of the price monitoring or to lower the MSRP.
01:20The DA is now investigating if there is a profiteering or embezzlement and where and when.
01:27I'm disappointed because there's a discussion.
01:30For me, we know each other, we work together in the industry.
01:36If there's a discussion, there should be a discussion.
01:39If they don't follow, it's up to them.
01:43Those who don't want to follow the pork,
01:45we might request to Speaker Martin Romualdo to force them if necessary so that we can really follow.
01:59The pork vendors here in Mega Q Market are fighting.
02:02They are following the MSRP but they are not earning anything.
02:06Travelers and pork producers should also be tightened.
02:09Meanwhile, today is the first day of the implementation of the new MSRP for imported rice.
02:15From Php 49 per kilo, MSRP is now Php 45 for imported rice.
02:20Some rice retailers here in Mega Q Market are not able to follow because their supply is still expensive.
02:28It is prudent that we will stop at MSRP Php 45 for the next two months until the harvest season is over.
02:37Then we can see the situation so that the traders who buy and the rice mills who buy from the farmers of rice
02:45will not speculate or be afraid.
02:49They will buy rice at a price that our farmers will not lose.
02:58Tiu Laurel is also increasing the price of garlic for the farmers.
03:02That's why they are also thinking of increasing the MSRP for garlic.
03:07Meanwhile, DTI promised that they will help monitor the farmers
03:12so that they can follow the MSRP and SRP imposed.
03:16DTI Secretary Maria Cristina Roque said that they are ready to file complaints
03:21if it is proven that there are farmers who are following the MSRP.
03:24That is the latest from Quezon City. Back to you, Connie.
03:27Thank you, Darlene Cai.
