00:00The price of vegetables and eggs in the market has increased.

00:03It may be affected by the need for the taste of habagat and bagyong karina.

00:08Meanwhile, some farms in Tarlac, which are known to have cases of bird flu, are being closely monitored.

00:14Clayzel Cordilla is back in the report.

00:20The price of some of Leticia's vegetables in the Commonwealth Market has doubled.

00:24The previous price of 60 pesos per kilo of eggplant is now 120 pesos.

00:30The price of lettuce and carrots has also increased.

00:44That's why Ms. Vini was forced to cut her budget.

00:49She only bought it in Iote, so she will just discard it to be able to buy malunggay in Kapitbahay.

01:03The price of eggs has also increased.

01:05From 120 pesos for each tray of the smallest egg, now it has increased to 200 pesos.

01:14That's why one piece of egg was 4 pesos before, now it's more than 6 pesos.

01:27Baby said that there's only one way.

01:30If the budget is not enough, we will cut it.

01:33If it was two trays before, now it's one tray.

01:38It can fit up to a week's budget.

01:41According to the Department of Agriculture,

01:43it's natural for the price of eggs to increase whenever there's a high demand.

01:49This week, the demand started to increase.

01:51And then for the sikarina,

01:53even though it wasn't affected by the layers or poultry farms,

01:58there are some warehouses where eggs got wet.

02:01So that's the reason why the prices of eggs are increasing.

02:06But not because of the AI.

02:08Three farms in Tarlac are suspected of having avian influenza or bird flu.

02:14A confirmatory test was already done to determine the disease that affected the farm.

02:19If it's positive for bird flu, a test will be done immediately.

02:23There's strict monitoring being done in the neighboring areas.

02:26And there's no need to worry about the supply.

02:29Just wait for the result of the house.

02:32The AI is easier to test compared to the ASF.

02:38Because of the AI, you just need to cull all the chickens.

02:42Let the farm rest.

02:45Then after six months, you can put the chickens again.

02:48According to the latest data from the Agriculture Department,

02:51the cost of agriculture has increased to 1.21 billion pesos.

02:57The sikarina is very expensive.

02:59More than 88 million pesos were spent on high-value crops or vegetables.

03:03Part of Cordillera and part of Mimaropa were affected.

03:07We're happy that Calabarzon wasn't affected.

03:11The DA is positive that the prices of vegetables will return to normal.

03:15Now, the travel and operations to the farms are normal.
