00:00Because of the effect of Laninia, the price of eggs is expected to rise.

00:03Aside from that, the Department of Agriculture is also monitoring

00:07the high sale of chickens to the families.

00:10Joshua Garcia with the report.

00:16At the same time as Laninia entered the country,

00:18it is expected to have an effect on agricultural products, particularly eggs.

00:23The Philippine Egg Board Association explained that

00:26it is currently experiencing the 3rd quarter syndrome or disease outbreak.

00:30The direct effect of this is, 1. Mortality,

00:332. Decrease in production in terms of eggs.

00:37That is why the price of eggs could possibly rise in the coming months

00:41along with the change of the season.

00:42The increase started last month.

00:46Maybe this will continue until the holiday season towards December.

00:52The Department of Agriculture is reminding traders and retailers

00:55not to worry about the price. Instead, they should consult their agency.

01:00From the Department of Agriculture, we will see that

01:02our traders should not take advantage

01:06because we should help each other.

01:08If it rises, it will affect the consumers.

01:10So let's balance it.

01:11And then the Department of Agriculture is very much willing to dialogue

01:15on what interventions we can do here.

01:18The DA also continued to monitor the record high sale of chickens

01:22which is now at Php 250 per kilo.

01:24According to the DA, this is due to the production cost,

01:27importation of feed additives, and the diseases

01:30of poultry farms.

01:32In addition, the agency assured that they will continue to consult

01:35with the local producers to find out

01:37what help is needed through the various programs of the DA.

01:41We have a continuous dialogue.

01:43We ask them what programs they want

01:45so that we can help them, so that they can rebound,

01:47so that we can help.

01:48The Department of Agriculture is here.

01:50Our Secretary is here and is ready to help

01:53with the needs of our poultry and layered industries.

01:58The agency also added that aside from monitoring,

02:01the importation of agri-products is also being monitored

02:04so that the price of these products can still be guaranteed.
