The Department of Agriculture (DA) called the white onion shortage an “opportunity” to forge direct links between institutional buyers and growers. READ:
The DA said fastfood chains and restaurant owners have advised it of their volume and quality requirements to guide farmers’ planting activities.
The shortage presents an “opportunity for aggressive market linkage of farmers to institutional buyers,” it said. “A cooperative composed of onion farmers from Nueva Ecija declared that they will be harvesting their off-season onion before the end of November. As such any import applications processed at this point might arrive at a time that they are harvesting,” the DA said.
