00:00 I will throw away the emulete.
00:02 Anyone would be ashamed if the tonnete of cabbage that is worth P30,000 to P50,000 is thrown away.
00:11 Just like the cabbage thrown away in Bangin in Tinoky, Pugao after being rejected for the production of vegetables in the Latrine of Daglong, Get.
00:18 We don't have a place to buy it, ma'am. And the price is low, so we just throw it away.
00:26 The industry is not happy with the situation in the agricultural sector in Sinag.
00:30 Due to the good harvest from December, the supply of cabbage has increased to become of cabbage and carrots.
00:35 That's why the prices have dropped.
00:37 There are trucks that are being transported by PH Bingget to bring the vegetables here to Metro Manila.
00:47 So that's a good direction. But the problem is that there are a lot of vegetables.
00:55 In Ifugao, the cabbage is just thrown away.
00:57 In some markets in Manila and Quezon City, the price of vegetables varies from P40 to P50 per kilo.
01:04 Before, I used to buy vegetables for P70. Now, it's P50. It's cheaper now, it's P40.
01:10 In the Blue Mandrit Market, the price of vegetables from Bingget has dropped compared to December, according to the vendors.
01:17 But the price of some Tagalog vegetables in the Commonwealth Market has increased, like string beans, eggplant, and bitter melon.
01:24 There is a problem with the supply of rice in two markets where you can buy P52 to P53 per kilo of rice.
01:30 That's all.
01:32 It's okay, but the price of rice is too high.
01:39 Before, we used to grow rice for P5 per kilo. Now, it's just P2.
01:46 There is a supply, but it's too high.
01:51 To reduce the impact of the expected dry spell, like El Niño in the production of rice in the country,
01:56 the Department of Agriculture started to help in the intervention and strategy.
02:01 According to Secretary Francisco Laurel Jr.,
02:04 the government will provide rice, fertilizer voucher, and soil amelioration and biocontrol agents in the dry season
02:11 for rice production from December to May, if the farmers need more water.
