PRESIDENT Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. said the shortage in the supply of onions in the country has forced the Department of Agriculture to allow its importation.
But Marcos said they are looking for ways to increase the production of homegrown onions to avoid importation in the future. This, he added, includes helping the growers. Last week, the DA gave the green light for the importation of 21,060 metric tons of onions, 3,960 MT of fresh yellow onions and 17,100 MT of red onions to stabilize the continuous increase of its price and to address supply gap prior to peak harvest in 2023.Lawmakers from the House of Representatives and Senate called for an investigation on the matter as some of them expressed belief that a cartel is behind the soaring prices of locally produced onions.
