00:00Meanwhile, the Department of Agriculture was able to help the garlic importers

00:04after the DA and DTI learned from the inspection earlier that the price of garlic is already high.

00:11This is the news of the country of Vel Custodio of PTV Manila.

00:16So, 10 pesos of butter, right?

00:18Yes, sir.

00:20You bought it for too much.

00:22We're looking for this butter.

00:24If you buy it, it's 1.40 pesos, 1.50 pesos.

00:27This is just 1.80 pesos.

00:29This is the scene in the special market monitoring of the Department of Agriculture

00:34and the Department of Trade and Industry in Mega Q Mart earlier.

00:37How much did we get?

00:39700. How much is it?

00:41How much is that?

00:43It's less than 6 kilos.

00:46And how much did you sell it for?

00:481.50.

00:491.50 per kilo?

00:501.60 per kilo.

00:51According to DA Secretary Francisco T. Laurel Jr.,

00:54the price of garlic should be between 100 and 110 pesos per kilo.

00:58That's why the DA will ask the garlic importers for help.

01:03Their margin is around 40 to 50 pesos per kilo, right?

01:06I think that's too much.

01:08So, I'm just getting the final figures.

01:13Then, we'll ask the importers.

01:1595% of the market share of garlic is imported

01:18because the local variety of garlic is small.

01:21That's why it needs to be exported to countries with high production

01:25and good garlic varieties like China.

01:28On the other hand, the Department of Agriculture will continue to strive

01:33to increase the production of garlic.

01:35Looking at Korea as a model,

01:38because you know that Koreans are fond of garlic,

01:41and their garlic production per hectare is good.

01:44They have 12 to 15 tons per hectare.

01:46We only have 1 to 2 tons.

01:50That's why we're studying if we can adapt that technology here.

01:53The DA will also continue to focus on the garlic variety

01:57that will grow in the climate of the Philippines.

01:59The DA is also insisting that MSRP should not be placed in garlic.
