The House of Representatives panel “will study the option of recommending to the President the calibrated importation of onion and garlic as a means to force these unscrupulous individuals to unload their stocks and drive down the prices to alleviate the burden on the consumers,” according to Romualdez.

Apart from the investigation, Romualdez wants daily monitoring of the prices of onion and garlic in the local markets. “People are still trying to recover from the pandemic. The last thing we need is an unreasonable rise in food prices,” Romualdez said. Romualdez also said the concerned government agencies should equally address the smuggling of onion and other agricultural products that stifles the local industrypointed out that the importation of agricultural products should not prejudice the welfare of the local farmers.

“It is very important to ensure that any importation should consist of such quantity and be done well ahead of the harvest season to avoid any adverse effect on the livelihood of our local farmers,” he said.
