The Department of Agriculture (DA) has set the suggested retail price (SRP) for imported medium-sized galunggong (round scad) in wet markets in the National Capital Region (NCR) at P180 per kilogram. “Considering the effects of rising fuel prices due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict (and) aggravated by the pandemic, (which raised the) prices of agricultural commodities… there is a need to manage the prices of basic necessities,” the DA said in an administrative circular issued on Thursday. The circular estimated that one kilogram of medium-sized, female galunggong will consist of 11 to 20 pieces.
