00:00 The effects of the typhoon Aghon, especially in the price of vegetables,
00:05 is felt even in the market.
00:07 Learn how much it was raised in the discussion of Bernadette Reyes.
00:11 Are you tired of packing?
00:16 Budget first because Tagalog vegetables are expensive.
00:20 In Mega Q Mart in Quezon City, for example,
00:22 the price of vegetables like string beans, okra, bitter melon, eggplant and tomato is 20 to 40 pesos.
00:29 The price of vegetables has really increased because of the rain.
00:32 Usually, it's all damaged.
00:34 This is just new.
00:35 According to the Department of Agriculture,
00:38 the typhoon Calabarzon is known as the producer of Tagalog vegetables.
00:42 In Laguna, the price of Pinsara in agriculture is 5 million pesos,
00:46 while it is 4.5 million pesos in Quezon.
00:48 It is almost 12 million pesos in the whole country.
00:51 But the Agri Department said,
00:53 It's just a small effect because it can supplement the source of our lowland vegetables,
00:59 Central Luzon and Cagayan Valley.
01:03 The supply of agri products is not enough.
01:06 The pork price is high, but not because of the typhoon,
01:10 but because of the continuous effect of the African Swine Fever.
01:13 It is up to 225 pesos per kilo from the previous 210 pesos only.
01:18 It will take a little time to recover our hog industry.
01:24 Unless we have that vaccine, it will be very, very difficult to control African Swine Fever.
01:29 The price of pork is really high.
01:31 According to the Price Monitoring of the Department of Agriculture,
01:34 the price of pork per kilo of liempo in some families in Metro Manila reached up to 420 pesos.
01:39 But in the recent news, they saw that some families have a low price.
01:45 The price of pork per kilo of cassim only reached up to 263 pesos in some families.
01:51 While the price of liempo is only 345 pesos.
01:54 The DA's program is to reduce the cost of production
01:57 and reduce the cost of the transportation of products.
02:01 We asked them not to take advantage of the situation.
02:04 Despite that, they said that there was a typhoon in Quezon.
02:08 For GMA Integrated News, Bernadette Reyes, NKTU TOK, 24 Hours.
