Amid low farm-gate prices, farmers are also suffering from the rising retail cost of farm commodities, a farmer-leader said.
In a virtual briefing on Wednesday, Joseph Canlas, Alyansa ng mga Magbubukid sa Gitnang Luzon, said farmers don’t benefit from the rising retail cost of some food commodities.
This, because the farm-gate prices of agriculture commodities, such as rice, chili, onion, have remained low.
“Farmers don’t benefit from the rising cost of these products. We are actually suffering because we also have to eat and buy these products. The problem is farm-gate price is low so we don’t make a lot of money,” Canlas said.
