00:18 Despite the news of the oversupply of vegetables,

00:24 not many families in Metro Manila have yet felt the price drop, particularly in onions.

00:29 According to the vendor, they still get a high price for the products.

00:34 Even if the price drops, it's just a small amount.

00:37 No, it's still expensive.

00:41 It's not as bad as before.

00:43 Before, the price of onions was low during the harvest season.

00:50 Now, it's controlled.

00:52 While some have not heard of the so-called oversupply.

00:56 I don't know. The price of onions is now 160 pesos.

01:00 As expected, the buyers favor the price of onions, just like some who use onions in their own business.

01:07 I heard that the price of onions is dropping.

01:12 It's good if the price of onions is dropping. The price of onions will also drop in the market.

01:18 In addition, the Department of Agriculture temporarily stopped the importation of products to the country to stop the price of onions dropping.

01:26 In connection with the arrest of Agriculture Secretary Francisco Chula Aurel Jr.

01:30 by the Philippine Chamber of Agriculture and Food Incorporated or PCAFI,

01:34 it was stated that the oversupply was due to what happened last December

01:39 and the unexpected arrival of almost 100 tons of onions that were harvested last month.

01:46 PCAFI also expects that the supply will increase, especially with an additional 40% of the land that was plowed for the planting of onions.

01:54 The DA first announced that the farmgate prices of the product may drop due to its expected arrival in February.

02:01 Meanwhile, the government and PCAFI agreed to meet every 45 days to review the situation of the supply

02:09 and adjust the schedule of importation and the amount of onions to be harvested.
