I am a farmer. True, we lost so much in transportation. Vegetables transported to Baguio City cost P1.00 per kilo. A truck with 10tons will cost P10,000.00. But if prices go down like this time, a farmer goes empty handed.

makes me glad I live in Baguio, we get romaine anywhere from 30 to 90 a kilo depending on the weather! I have to agree with you, we as a country no longer produce competitively priced veggies, as much as we used to. the farmers need the support of government, specifically in the area of transporting produce.

Carla, the post was for Manila prices, and the PHP84 is the price per portion, the price was actually PHP144 per kilo. In Cebu, lettuces seem to be quite expensive, though organic markets might have cheaper romaine from Busay. In the carbon, I ran across iceberg from Mantalongon for just PHP20-30 a kilo!

So if 84 pesos is expensive, where can we buy a cheaper romaine lettuce then in Cebu? >.<

Talking about the Dole company, it would be interesting if you can watch the documentary movie “Bananas!”

MM, the P650 per kg price happened after a typhoon or torrential rains hit the Baguio romaine crop which totally wiped it out for a few weeks. Dole was the sole supplier of romaine at the time since their lettuce came from Bukidnon. Classic case of disaster related price gouging.

Also, there were no fresh herbs like rosemary and thyme for quite a stretch from October to December last year, as most farms in Tagaytay were inundated with torrential rains. The main difference was that whatever little supply was available was still sold at pre-typhoon prices. Either the farmers in Tagaytay are a more conscientious lot, or their produce had a readily accessible substitute in bottled dried herbs. I’d like to think it was the former.
