A cheaper price range of onions may be expected next week, the Department of Agriculture said Friday.
Evangelista said the department has decided not to extend the PHP250 suggested retail price due to the expected price drop alongside the harvest season. The prevailing price range for local red onions in Metro Manila is PHP300 to PHP400 per kg., while local white onions are sold from PHP250 to PHP400 per kg.In a related development, Senator Risa Hontiveros said another importation will not solve the reported egg shortage and its surging prices.
Unlike chicken, pork, corn, rice and onions, Hontiveros said eggs are easily perishable that is why importation must not be considered.The Bureau of Plant Industry , meanwhile, urged its members and other stakeholders to continue collaboration to achieve the administration’s food security target despite inflation challenges.
