Rep. Erwin Tulfo to seek out abusive traders, will consider importation of onion to stabilize prices

admin April 8, 2024

THE House of Representatives leadership, in coordination with the House Committee on Agriculture and other government agencies, is closely looking at the current state of local farmers, particularly those producing onions, and studying options to address the same.

“Amin pong tinitignan ngayon ang kalagayan ng ating mga local onion farmers, na tila patuloy na pinagsasamantalahan ng mga traders sa paghakot ng kanilang pananim sa di makatarungang halaga,” Rep. Erwin Tulfo said.

He added, “Kung inyo pong naaalala, kasama po natin si Speaker Ferdinand Martin Romualdez na nag-ikot sa mga palengke at nagsagawa ng mga inspeksyon sa mga bodega nitong mga traders na nagsasamantala sa ating mga farmers.”

According to Rep. Tulfo, there is a need to actively seek out and police these traders who take advantage of unwitting local farmers, which ultimately affects the market prices of onions being offered to the general public.

“Mukhang kailangan araw-arawin namin itong mga ito, dahil pawang pinapahupa lang nila ang issue at kapag tahimik na ay muli silang namamakyaw ng mga sibuyas na bagsak presyo, maaaring hinohoard o tinatago at binebenta naman sa di hamak na mataas na halaga sa merkado”, he continued.

“Ang kawawa po kasi dito bukod sa ating local farmers ay ang ating mga mamimili sa palengke, ang taong bayan, dahil sa taas ng presyo ng bilihin gaya ng sibuyas. Kaya isa pang inaaral namin ay ang pag rekomenda ng importation ng sibuyas kung kailangan para maibaba ang presyo nito”, Rep. Tulfo shared. He assured that the House of Representatives will not stop at anything to fulfill their mandate to protect and uphold the rights and interests of the Filipinos, especially the local farmers.
