The DA said a P537 per kilogram of domestic onion order placed by FTI, a unit of the NFA, followed procurement rules, amid concerns that it paid inflated prices for the commodity, in turn setting a high benchmark price for resellers.
THE Department of Agriculture said a P537 per kilogram of domestic onion order placed by Food Terminal, Inc. , a unit of the National Food Authority , followed procurement rules, amid concerns that it paid inflated prices for the commodity, in turn setting a high benchmark price for resellers.
“Let the FTI their transaction with the cooperative,” Mr. Estoperez said, adding that the DA has nothing to hide because the procurement exercise was above board. The Ombudsman is also asking the DA to explain the shortage of onions and a separate decision to import onions coinciding with the domestic onion harvest.
