00:00At the same time, there is a growing demand for eggs.
00:03The price of eggs is rising, according to the Philippine Egg Board Association.
00:09They say that the price of eggs is going down in the past two months,
00:13but they don't feel it in the families.
00:16Bernadette Preje has the story.
00:22In the monitoring of the Department of Agriculture, the price of eggs is slightly increasing.
00:26From the prevailing price of 8 pesos per piece of medium-sized egg last week,
00:32to 9 pesos for the purchase in Metro Manila.
00:35The price of eggs is increasing.
00:37It's almost 10 pesos per tray.
00:40It's just a bit higher.
00:42That's why some people are buying less.
00:44In the past, it was 210 pesos. Now, it's only 220 pesos.
00:50According to the Philippine Egg Board Association,
00:52because of the growing demand, it's the strongest consumer this election season.
00:57We know that the price of pork has increased.
01:02Now, it shifted to chicken.
01:05Now, early this year, this first quarter, the price of chicken also increased.
01:11The price of chicken increased a lot.
01:13There is also a percentage. It shifted to eggs.
01:19Now, the farm gate price of eggs is up to 6 pesos and 80 centavos.
01:23But the price should not be too high in retail outlets.
01:27The price of eggs should be reasonable up to 2 pesos from the farm to the consumer.
01:34According to the Philippine Egg Board Association,
01:37the price of eggs dropped last January and February.
01:40Despite this, the price of eggs is still high in retail outlets.
01:46In Sarisari Store, the price of eggs dropped to 10 pesos per piece.
01:51That's why Jefferyne went to Sarisari Store instead
01:54to the egg dealers in the market that are buying eggs.
01:57In the store, it's expensive for each egg.
02:01So, it's 10 pesos each.
02:03If I bought 15 eggs in Sarisari Store, it's 150 pesos.
02:08If I bought here, it's only 125 pesos.
02:10This is what we call a disconnect in the price of retail and farm gate prices.
02:16It's very hard to say that someone is taking advantage.
02:21Let's just correct the price difference from retail to farm gate prices.
02:28Here, if the price goes down, the price will also go down.
02:33In retail stores, the price is still the same.
02:39If the price goes up, the price will go up.
02:43If the price goes down, the price will go down.
02:45So, we don't have a problem?
02:46Yes, we don't have a problem.
02:47We don't buy from the farm.
02:50We buy from the market.
02:53That's why?
02:54That's why it's only 10 pesos.
02:57GMA Integrated News is trying to get the attention of the DA about this.
03:02For GMA Integrated News, Bernadette Reyes, Katutok, 24 Horas.
