00:00 A consumer news, the price of Galunggong is expected to go down because it's open fishing season again in Palawan.
00:07 As for the fish, the price can still go down to P70 per kilo.
00:12 According to the Department of Agriculture, Maki Pulido has the first news.
00:16 It depends on the size and class, P160 to over P200 per kilo of fish in Kamuning Market, Quezon City.
00:27 The DA believes that the price of fish can be lowered in the families in Metro Manila
00:31 based on their monitoring, it's P150 to P240 per kilo.
00:37 Secretary Laurel ordered the DEPARC to study how to increase the production of fish.
00:44 And our department believes that the price of fish in Laguna Bay can be lowered to P70 to P80 per kilo.
00:53 The DEPARC will help those who want to be involved in aquaculture and mariculture
00:58 so that the fish can be sufficiently produced, including bagus, tilapia, hito, pompano and crab.
01:06 Up to 30 percent is expected to lower the price of Galunggong
01:10 in the reopening of the open fishing season in Palawan, which is a big supplier of Luzon.
01:15 P200 to P320 per kilo is the local price of Galunggong in Metro Manila,
01:20 which is more expensive than the imported.
01:23 Even the price of rice in the Commonwealth Market is cheaper than the local price of P55 to P58 per kilo.
01:30 We asked the people who deliver to us, they said that they will not feed us.
01:35 There's no water, that's why the crops are dry.
01:39 That's why there's no local food.
01:42 The supply of rice will be added because the rice harvest has started and the water is enough.
01:47 The DA is not worried about the dryness brought by El Nino.
01:50 In Lawagilocos Norte, their farmers are chasing a higher price of rice.
01:55 The price of farm gate is expected to continue to fall.
01:59 In the monitoring of the Sinag group, it dropped to P25 to P27 per kilo
02:04 from the previous P28 to P30 per kilo.
02:07 Because the area is large, it does not see a big effect.
02:14 If we are not able to meet our production last year at 20.06 million metric tons, we can still exceed.
02:23 The Sinag said that if the supply of rice is affected by El Nino,
02:27 the price of rice could rise again in the coming months.
02:31 So far, we monitored some farmlands in Nueva Ecija, in Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur and even Bulacan.
02:41 If we do not catch up, the production will have a significant drop.
02:47 In the town of San Nicolas, Ilocos Norte, the farmers are again asking for a higher price of rice to make the water deeper.
02:54 The good thing is that it has a hole so there is a lot of water there. It will not dry up easily.
03:02 The water is enough now but they are also saving for the drying.
03:06 This is the first news. Macky Pulido for GMA Integrated News.
