DA eyes MSRP on garlic
The Freeman
|April 02, 2025
The Department of Agriculture (DA) is considering imposing a maximum suggested retail price (MSRP) on garlic to curb potential profiteering, Agriculture Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel said.
-
However, the measure is currently on hold as the DA prioritizes efforts to stabilize the prices of rice and pork.
Tiu Laurel explained that while discussions on a garlic MSRP had taken place, the department decided to put the proposal on the back burner after market prices dropped significantly. The cost per kilo of garlic recently fell to around P100, down from a peak of P160—almost double the estimated landed cost of P80 per kilo.
