Marcos said in proposed Senate Resolution 350, filed on December 6, that there is “a need to determine the cause, as well as, ensure” that the Bureau of Plant and Industry’s (BPI) recommendation to import onions will not “kill the local onion production or industry.”
Senator Imee Marcos has filed a resolution seeking a Senate investigation into the soaring market prices of local onions.
However, Marcos noted that the prices of red onions in public markets remained high despite the government’s imposition of a price cap. Further, the lawmaker cited a news article dated November 30 where Samahang Industriya ng Agrikultura president Rosendo So has warned that the retail prices of onions could reach P400 per kilo due to shortage.
