Cabbage now sells at P3 a kilo at the main vegetable trading post in La Trinidad due to overproduction, sending some farmers back to their fields with their harvests.
On Sept. 2, Benguet Gov. Melchor Diclas issued an executive order withdrawing transport schedules enforced at the onset of the pandemic in April to reduce crowding at the trading post, Benguet Agri-Pinoy trading center and Nueva Vizcaya agricultural terminal.
These towns sell their produce at the trading post here, and truckers deliver these to Metro Manila, the main market. “Right now, there are only six trucks,” said Jimmy Geston, who monitors buyers at the post. Even smaller vehicles, some carrying five tons, now number only five or six instead of nine.Vegetable garden
“We only wanted to show the residents that any space, such as empty yards, can be planted with vegetables, so they need not buy them from the market,” he said.
