Critics of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. urged the country’s highest official to protect the interest of small farmers and fishermen by putting to stop the rampant smuggling of agricultural products from China.
Critics of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. urged the country’s highest official on Tuesday to protect the interest of small farmers and fishermen by putting to stop the rampant smuggling of agricultural products from China and assert the country’s national sovereignty.
“Despite China being the Philippines’ top trade partner in 2021, with total trade valued at $38.35 billion, there is still an unimaginable extent of illicit trade. Smuggled onions from China have pushed up onion retail prices by as much as P700 per kilo in local markets. This is very alarming,” KMP Chairman Danilo Ramos said.
The said agricultural trade agreement led to China becoming the Philippines’ third-largest export destination of agricultural products and its second-largest import source of farm products, KMP’s Rafael Mariano said for his part.
