The government must appoint the next set of officials at the Sugar Regulatory Administration (SRA) before the start of the next milling season in September to firm up possible plans to import the commodity, a legislator representing Bacolod said. READ:
“By September this year, we start the new crop year and we need to appoint the new administrator,” Representative and former SRA board member Emilio Bernardino L. Yulo said in an interview.
“Sugar is a political commodity. It’s important we appeal to the ground level. We need to hear out. If you are there, you will be able to at least talk to them,” he added.“The problem is the high input costs. high fertilizer costs; crude oil affects all aspects of production — it was P27 during the pandemic and now it’s P80-90. We cannot blame our laborers if they ask for a corresponding wage ,” he said.
“Our problem is the retail market. They were already supposedly included under Sugar Order No. 3, it is more important for us to resolve the retail market, that’s where the majority of our consumers are. Again, we don’t want the sugar industry to be one of the culprits of high inflation,” Mr. Yulo said.Mr. Yulo added that the incoming imports from the order will not bring down retail prices, as these are earmarked for industrial users.
