The Department of Agriculture (DA) has released a new suggested retail price (SRP) list for basic farm and fishery goods sold in Metro Manila wet markets. In a virtual briefing Tuesday, DA spokesperson Noel O. Reyes announced that Agriculture Secretary William D. Dar signed Administrative Circular No. 10, which adjusts the prices of select food products amid Metro Manila’s return to stricter lockdown protocols. The products covered include imported rice, pork, eggs, and sugar, among others. “We urge sellers in markets, talipapas, and palengkes selling these products to follow the newly adjusted SRP list,” Mr. Reyes said. The list may be accessed at www.da.gov.ph/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/ac10_s2020.pdf.
