In an ambush interview, Villar said an investigation in 2013 showed that there is an onion cartel which has 'complete control' over the supply in the country.
Senator Cynthia Villar expressed belief Monday that a cartel is behind the high prices of onions in the local markets.
"Naimbestigahan na namin 'yan since 2013 talagang may onion cartel. 'Yung namimili sa farmers, binabarat nila ang farmers, sila rin ang nag-iimport so they have the complete control sa supply kaya nagke-create minsan sila ng artificial demand para ma-iincrease nila ang price kasi nasa kanila lahat ng supply. So 'yun ang dapat nating i-solve na hindi mangyayari 'yun," the chairperson of the Senate agriculture, food, and agrarian reform said.
