The Department of Agriculture has recorded the loss of some 100,000 metric tons of onions in 2022, a news release on the department's website indicated.
The Agriculture Department said that other factors affecting the price and supply of the commodity are the increase in the price of production inputs, including fertilizers and seed; low level of mechanization and high labor cost; expensive marketing and distribution scheme; limited access to credit facilities; and inconsistencies in information.
The DA said ORION seeks to promote a competitive, resilient, and profitable onion industry providing high quality, safe, affordable, and sustainable supply of onion to meet increasing domestic demand. Farmer clusters and associations will also be organized for production and market integration, it added.
