Prices of vegetables in Metro Manila have seen a spike due to lower yields caused by tropical cyclone Maring, a Department of Agriculture (DA) official says.

Maring's damage to agriculture as of Saturday stood at ₱1.7 billion, affecting 56,718 farmers and fisherfolk, the department reported. Maring left the Philippine Area of Responsibility on Tuesday after spawning floods and destructive winds in many areas.

"Definitely 'pag nabawasan po ang yield dahil natamaan ng bagyo, tataas po ang price points ng ating mga gulay dahil iyong logistical cost ay ganun padin po and yet mas kaunti na po ang nadadala sa merkado," she added.
