00:00In spite of the millions of Pensalas in the sector of agriculture of Baguio-Agjon,
00:04the Agriculture Department assured that the supply of vegetables and rice in the country is still sufficient.
00:10The details in the report of Claycelle Pardilla.
00:17Cheryl bought 10 pesos worth of vegetables.
00:21This is the same as her budget last week, but she got lighter and less now.
00:27This is the only one.
00:29I also have a lot.
00:35In the price monitoring of the Department of Agriculture,
00:38the price of Tagalog vegetables increased from P5 to P65 per kilo
00:43from the places affected by the typhoon Agjon.
00:45The vegetables that we grow,
00:48a lot of them come from the Calabarzon area.
00:51It has an effect on our vegetables
00:54that go to Metro Manila.
00:56In Quezon and Laguna, the Pensalas in the agriculture of Baguio-Agjon
01:02increased by more than P11.8 million pesos.
01:05The D.A. clarified that the supply of rice and vegetables is still sufficient.
01:11The help for fishermen and farmers affected by the typhoon is already in place.
01:16The agency pointed out that the price of pork is too expensive.
01:20Their consumer complained.
01:23It's expensive.
01:25It's really expensive.
01:26It's just half the price compared to the previous budget.
01:31Of course, it's cheaper per kilo.
01:33In the monitoring of the D.A.,
01:35the price of pork per kilo in their market in Metro Manila reached P420.
01:40The Department of Agriculture surrounded their supermarket.
01:43The D.A. is a partner who also supplies meat in their Kadiwa store.
01:48The cheapest price is P345 for pork,
01:52P263 for chicken,
01:54while P160 per kilo of chicken.
01:57If there's a typhoon in Quezon,
02:00there might be a take advantage.
02:01Our trade check is that there's available, affordable, and accessible
02:06that we can buy without taking advantage of other people.
02:08We won't be affected by the price fluctuations of local and imported meat.
02:14Being in a retail-centric setting,
02:17we need to be on a day-in-day-out.
02:18The D.A. is helping the pork farmers and other stakeholders
02:25and other stakeholders throughout the country
02:29to determine how to make the price cheaper.
02:34The target is to lower the production cost,
02:36especially in the food sector.
02:38That's our challenge, to lower the production cost.
02:41Our stock is 60% local production,
02:45so we can increase the local production,
02:50less importation.
02:51From the farm, going to the consumers,
02:54there's something that needs to be fixed.
02:58This is also the reason why the clinical trial for the vaccine against ASF was held
03:02in order to solve the spread of the disease that kills the pork.
