00:00Meanwhile, the Department of Agriculture was able to help the garlic importers
00:04after the DA and DTI learned from the inspection earlier that the price of garlic is already high.
00:11This is the news of the country of Vel Custodio of PTV Manila.
00:16So, 10 pesos of butter, right?
00:18Yes, sir.
00:20You bought it for too much.
00:22We're looking for this butter.
00:24If you buy it, it's 1.40 pesos, 1.50 pesos.
00:27This is just 1.80 pesos.
00:29This is the scene in the special market monitoring of the Department of Agriculture
00:34and the Department of Trade and Industry in Mega Q Mart earlier.
00:37How much did we get?
00:39700. How much is it?
00:41How much is that?
00:43It's less than 6 kilos.
00:46And how much did you sell it for?
00:481.50.
00:491.50 per kilo?
00:501.60 per kilo.
00:51According to DA Secretary Francisco T. Laurel Jr.,
00:54the price of garlic should be between 100 and 110 pesos per kilo.
00:58That's why the DA will ask the garlic importers for help.
01:03Their margin is around 40 to 50 pesos per kilo, right?
01:06I think that's too much.
01:08So, I'm just getting the final figures.
01:13Then, we'll ask the importers.
01:1595% of the market share of garlic is imported
01:18because the local variety of garlic is small.
01:21That's why it needs to be exported to countries with high production
01:25and good garlic varieties like China.
01:28On the other hand, the Department of Agriculture will continue to strive
01:33to increase the production of garlic.
01:35Looking at Korea as a model,
01:38because you know that Koreans are fond of garlic,
01:41and their garlic production per hectare is good.
01:44They have 12 to 15 tons per hectare.
01:46We only have 1 to 2 tons.
01:50That's why we're studying if we can adapt that technology here.
01:53The DA will also continue to focus on the garlic variety
01:57that will grow in the climate of the Philippines.
01:59The DA is also insisting that MSRP should not be placed in garlic.
