DA: ‘Massive’ cold chain audit for onions set READ MORE:
Agriculture Senior Undersecretary Domingo Panganiban said the DA cannot fully ascertain the situation on the ground with inconsistent data fed by the onion industry along with data from farmers, traders, and cold storage owners.“Some say there are many onions in the country, while others say we do not have enough supply. If we do have the volume, or considering we have remaining supply, the institutional buyers will take up the entire volume and not the government,” he said Wednesday.
“The supply of our onion is enough, whether red or white [onion]. For the white onion, we expect its supply to last until mid-July,” he said. “What we’re looking at is to have a buffer of 2 months ,” Panganiban told the House Committee on Agriculture and Food on Wednesday. He added that the food sector is managing the shortage and the demand by trying “skillful ways that are imaginable to users,” like reducing their consumption of the commodity and using alternatives.
