00:00 As the Easter season is approaching, the demand for fish is expected to increase.
00:05 That's why some families are now raising the price.
00:09 Here's the detail in the report of Clayzel Cordelia.
00:11 Tata's mom is now able to avoid eating pork during Easter.
00:20 But her expenses have increased.
00:23 Because a week before the Holy Week, the price of fish has increased.
00:28 We eat breakfast until dinner to save money.
00:31 Sometimes, we eat 1 kg or half a kg to save money.
00:36 In the price monitoring of the Department of Agriculture,
00:40 the price of fish has started to increase.
00:43 Compared to last week,
00:45 they have already raised the price of fish from P5 to P60.
00:50 Like fish from Bangos, Tilapia, and Alumahan.
00:54 The tobacco and fish sold by Mrs. Winnie in the Lytex Market
00:58 was P180 per kg last week.
01:01 But now?
01:03 P200 per kg.
01:04 In the South, it will reach P240.
01:07 As long as the price is high all week, it's expensive to get.
01:11 According to the Department of Agriculture,
01:14 the supply of fish is sufficient.
01:16 But the BA explains.
01:18 People are winning away from consuming pork traditionally
01:24 when the price of fish has increased.
01:29 Especially on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, and on Saturday.
01:33 Normally, it's 10 to 20 percent.
01:36 Meanwhile, despite the high price of pork,
01:40 which reached P420 per kg,
01:43 the DA does not see the need to raise the price of fish
01:49 to control the price of it or any agricultural commodities.
01:54 If there is a sudden stop,
01:57 it will cause problems that we don't want to happen.
02:04 The DA also said that the agencies are consulting
02:08 with the local price coordinating council
02:11 to talk to the meat vendors.
02:14 In front of this, the production of pork is being strengthened.
02:18 There are measures to strengthen biosecurity
02:22 and our continuous cooperation with our stakeholders in the swine industry.
02:30 And if necessary, we should continue to import if the local could not do it.
02:36 To ensure the sufficient supply of meat,
02:39 like the mechanically deboned meat that is commonly used by manufacturers,
02:44 the DA approved the three-year meat exporters accreditation
02:50 in 17 establishments in Brazil, Germany, Hungary, and Poland
02:56 after passing the quarantine and meat inspection standard.
03:00 After visiting President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. in the Czech Republic
03:06 with Agriculture Secretary Kiko Tiulao-Rao Jr.,
03:10 the Agriculture Ministry of the country-to-be announced to the DA
03:14 that it wants to help the agency to get 20,000 Filipino butchers.
