The Department of Agriculture (DA) said Friday that imported onions and carrots should only cost P120 per kilo, as part of government sets suggested retail prices on agri imports.

DA spokesman Asec. Arnel de Mesa said the P120/kg SRP applies to both red and white onions.

He said the DA also allowed importation of carrots due to limited supply. “Makinis na makinis at malinis ang imported na carrot,” he said in a DZMM interview.

The government has also set SRPs for both local and imported pork, at P370/kg for liempo and P330/kg for kasim.

De Mesa said cases of African swine fever have also dropped from some 1,000 cases in the third quarter of 2024 compared to only 100-200 cases during the same period this year.

“Safe na safe kumain nang baboy,” he said.

The DA said galunggong prices are currently at P300/kg for imported galunggong, and P400 for local galunggong.

The government has closed the fishing season until January 31, 2026
