The damage to agriculture due to successive tropical cyclones—from Kristine to Ofel —has reached more than P10 billion, the Department of Agriculture said on Tuesday. According to Bernadette Reyes’ report in “24 Oras,” the amount excludes the damage incurred during the onslaught of Pepito that exited the Philippine Area of Responsibility on Monday.
The authorities said that rice importation helped the country have enough supply and keep prices stable in the market. However, the price of fish has increased following the recent storms that also coincided with the closed fishing season in some areas. As of November 11, DA data showed that the per kilo price of galunggong has increased from P220 to P340 to P240 to P320. Meanwhile, the alumahan is now at P260 to P400 per kilo from P260 to P360 per kilo.
