“‘Yang presyong pinag-uusapan po natin ngayon na nag-range po sa P650 hanggang P700 sa merkado, ‘yan po ay binili lamang po sa mga magsasaka ng taga San Jose, Occidental Mindoro ng P8 to P15 during harvest season po sa amin noong buwan po ng March to April nung 2022, last cropping season po,” Calingasan shared during the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Food, and Agrarian Reform hearing on the rising prices of onions.
Although they are onion farmers themselves, Calingasan said local farmers are also suffering from the soaring prices of the commodity as they were not able to store their produce.
