Dahil sa mga nagdaang bagyo na sinabayan pa ng closed fishing season, ramdam ang pagtaas sa presyo ng isda sa ilang lugar sa bansa. Kaya ang Department of Agriculture, posible umanong mag-angkat ng dagdag na 8,000 metric tons ng isda pati na gulay kung kakailanganin.

00:00Because of the recent typhoons that coincided with the close fishing season,

00:04the price of fish in some places in the country is rising.

00:07So the Department of Agriculture possibly asked to increase the addition of 8,000 metric tons of fish,

00:14even vegetables, if necessary.

00:16Bernadette Reyes has the answer.

00:22This fish farm in Kamaligan, Camariñasur and Kasinguran, Aurora became like a fish pond.

00:28The next typhoons also hit the plantations in Balatan, Kamariñasur and Bagau, Cagayan.

00:34The Department of Agriculture estimated that the cost of the next typhoons

00:41from the typhoon Christine to the typhoon Ophel is more than P10 billion.

00:43The cost of the super typhoon Pepito is not included.

00:47The areas that are our agri-area are supposed to be able to recover after some deluvio.

00:58They find themselves having a hard time recovering.

01:02The damage is severe.

01:04This is a historical difference.

01:08Extraordinary circumstances.

01:10The DA asked for an additional P1 billion quick response fund

01:15to help farmers and fishermen by distributing rice and insurance.

01:21But the Department of Agriculture insisted that it is hard to recover from the next typhoons.

01:26This year, imported rice was estimated to reach a record high of 4.5 million metric tons.

01:33Despite the higher importation now, it helped to have a sufficient supply and a stable price.

01:42But the price of fish is already rising due to the typhoons

01:46that accompanied the closed fishing season in some areas.

01:49For example, in the Litex Market in Quezon City, fresh fish is rarely sold.

01:54It's unfortunate because it's hard to get fish because of the typhoons.

01:58It's all frozen and imported.

02:00It's possible to increase the additional 8,000 metric tons of fish.

02:04In addition to the previous 30,000 metric tons that are slowly arriving in the country.

02:09We just want to make sure that we won't have any problems later on.

02:13Because first, it's the closed fishing season.

02:15Second, the typhoons will come one after the other.

02:19There are losses in the production of fish.

02:22There are fishponds that were damaged.

02:28There are damaged boats.

02:29There are damaged accessories.

02:31And it will take some time to recover.

02:34Aside from fish, according to the Department of Agriculture,

02:37they are also studying how to grow vegetables.

02:39There is no shortage of vegetables in the supply right now, but the price is high.

02:43It's okay, that's why the price is high.

02:48Like carrots, eggplants, bitter gourd, and bell peppers.

02:54On top of the vegetables, Letlet reduced the amount of vegetables in the pan so that there will be less expenses.

03:01We don't sell vegetables anymore because it's expensive.

03:04Our priority is to get the vegetables from other vegetable-producing areas and regions,

03:10if that would be enough to temper the prices.

03:14So we don't need to import anymore.

03:16But if there's a necessity to import, we will do that.
