Several farmers express worry over the government's looming importation of onions which may coincide with the harvest season in February.
“Bago po sana umangkat magkaroon po ng isang talakayan 'yung katulad naming mga maliliit na samahan ng mga magsasaka nang maintindihan ng mga magsasaka kung bakit at paano,” Victor Layug, the group's chairperson, said. “Katulad nga ng sinasabi nilang 22,000 metric tons na ano almost 800 box 'yan. Sobrang dami naman niyan. Kawawa naman 'yung local na sibuyas natin, wala nang magiging presyo niyan,” Roberto Carina, one of the farmers, said.
Only few farmers as compared to 130 millions hungry Pilipinos.
Mga magtitinda sa palengke namin sibuyas tagalog ang ibinibenta na mahal din pero mas mura kaysa imported. Di bale basta makinabang ang local farmers.
