Prices of fish and vegetables have started to increase at the start of Holy Week, but those of onions have significantly declined due to the oversupply amid the ongoing harvest of the commodity.

According to vendors at local markets, prices of fish have increased due to the reduced trips of fishermen.

The same trend was seen in the Litex Market in Quezon City, with galunggong up to P260 from P200, tulingan to P260 from P200, alumahan to P260 from P240, and matambaka to P240 from P200. Prices of onion, however, have significantly declined due to the oversupply. What used to range from P120 to P140 per kilogram has fallen to P60 per kilogram in local markets.

[Our problem is the harvest will be until May. Prices range from P6 to P10 for an onion. The problem is it is too low, so our farmers are on a shortfall.]
