By late 2022, the price of red and white onions in the Philippines increased significantly,[1] reaching an all-time high in December at ₱ 700 per kilogram and leading people to smuggle the commodity into the country.[2] [3] [4]
Background [ edit ]
Along with garlic , onion is a staple in Filipino cuisine , being used as a base in many dishes.[5] It is a seasonal crop, growing between the rainy months of September and December. Meanwhile, its harvest season begins as early as December and ends in June.[6] The Philippines consumes an average of 17,000 metric tons of onion per month.[7] In August 2022, the country was predicted to experience a shortage of onion and garlic.[8]
The price of red onion in 2021 ranged between ₱90 and ₱120 .[6]
The Department of Agriculture 's failure to adequately project supply and demand for onions resulted to a delay in imports, leading to a shortage.[9]
Response [ edit ]
In January 2023, President Bongbong Marcos , who also serves concurrently as Secretary of Agriculture , approved the importation of 21,060 tons of onion.[1] The first shipments began to arrive on January 23.[10] The agriculture department said the importation, albeit a "temporary solution", would help decrease inflation in the country and stabilize the price of the vegetable.[1]
