00:00The Department of Agriculture in Garlic Importers was able to help after learning that the DA and DTI in their inspection
00:08have a high price for garlic. According to DA Secretary Francisco Chu Lorel Jr.,
00:14the kilo of garlic should be from P100 to P110 pesos.
00:18They will continue their efforts to increase the local production of garlic in the country.
00:24According to their data, 95% of the market share of garlic today is imported because there is no small local variety of garlic.
00:34The DA also continues the research on the garlic variety that grows in the climate of the Philippines.
00:40The DA also assured that MSRP does not need to be added to the price of garlic.
00:46The margin is P40 to P50 per kilo. I think that's too much.
00:51So, I'm just getting the final figures. Then we will pull the importers.
00:58Looking at Korea as a model, you know that Koreans are fond of garlic.
01:03And their garlic production per hectare is good. They have 12 to 15 tons per hectare.
01:09So, we are studying if we can adapt the technology here.
