00:00Due to the disease, the ability of some chickens to lay eggs is weakening, according to the Agriculture Department.
00:06Witness, Bernadette Reyes.
00:12An egg of a medium-sized or normal size reaches 11 pesos in Gina's supermarket.
00:18So, to save money,
00:20I buy it here in the market because it's cheaper here.
00:24According to the Department of Agriculture,
00:26when the month of March started,
00:28there was a medium-sized egg that can be bought for 7 pesos per piece.
00:32But now, it can be bought for 7 pesos and 40 centavos up to 9 pesos.
00:37In Marikina Public Market,
00:39the price of 10 to 20 pesos per tray of egg depends on the size.
00:448 pesos.
00:46For us, I don't leave it to others.
00:48For small stores,
00:50because they also buy from us here.
00:53Because chickens are expensive,
00:55eggs are also expensive.
00:57Our medium-sized egg is 8.50 pesos,
00:59our small egg is 8.00 pesos.
01:00According to the Department of Agriculture,
01:02there is a monitored disease in chickens
01:04that weakens their ability to lay eggs.
01:06If there is a lot of mortality in the grow-outs of the layers,
01:10it is not a transboundary disease.
01:14This can be easily controlled.
01:16Despite this, the Philippine Egg Board Association said
01:20that the supply of eggs is adequate
01:22because higher production is expected.
01:24According to the group,
01:26the price of a medium-sized egg should not reach 11 pesos or more,
01:30especially the farm gate price of 6 pesos and 20 centavos
01:33up to 6 pesos and 80 centavos.
01:37The additional 2 pesos for the farm gate price,
01:42we think it is reasonable.
01:44But if the price of a medium-sized egg reaches 11 pesos or more,
01:50I think it is too high.
