A farmer in Benguet, Mountain Province was seen cutting up dozens of yet to be harvested cabbages to turn them into fertilizers instead of selling them because he could not afford the high cost of transporting them to the market.

Samuel Daniel said he shot the video in April this year when cabbages were priced around P5 to P10 per kilo at the vegetable trading post in La Trinidad town."Basura na sa garden, ang gawin na lang natin ganito, para maging abono. Wala akong naibenta ngayon," Daniel said in Tina Panganiban-Perez’s report on “24 Oras."

Daniel appealed to the government to put in place policies that would stabilize vegetable prices in the province.
