00:00 Meanwhile, the price of chili pepper or siling labuyo surged.
00:04 According to Bureau of Plant Industry, the reason for price hike is because some production
00:10 areas in Luzon were damaged following the onslaught of previous typhoons.
00:15 He added as the country did not import, planting siling labuyo is the solution for the supply
00:20 to be sufficient.
00:21 "The production areas of chili pepper were damaged due to typhoon.
00:30 We have witnessed typhoons lately and mostly in Luzon.
00:36 Majority of our production areas are in Luzon so it is greatly affected by typhoon.
00:42 That is what caused our supply to be reduced.
00:46 The planting areas were damaged so there are not many chili peppers to harvest.
00:52 When the supply decreases, there is a tendency for prices to rise in the market."
