00:00The Department of Agriculture has approved the lifting of the 4,000-metric ton of onions
00:09to Secretary Francisco Chula Ruel, Jr. of the Agriculture Department.
00:15Far from the so-called ban, the possible increase in the price of onions
00:21that happened in 2022 reached more than Php 700 per kilo.
00:27The 4,000-metric ton of onions that will be lifted
00:32will be lower than the 7,000-metric ton that is still missing.
00:38But there is nothing to be worried about because it is expected to arrive in the country
00:42before the import of onions ends in February,
00:47while in the last part of March until April,
00:50the import of local onions will be completed.
00:55What we did is very tactical.
00:57Limited volume, limited quantity, limited time.
01:01So it should address any spikes.
01:05It's not even enough to fill in the perceived gap or estimated gap.
01:13So there's nothing, you shouldn't worry.
01:16And it's hard that I have nothing to do.
