00:00There are those who are advocating to raise the maximum suggested retail price of eggs following the increase in its price.
00:08Some are selling and choosing.
00:11Live from Marikina, the first news is EJ Gomez. EJ.
00:21After pork and rice, the Department of Agriculture is now studying
00:27if there should be an MSRP or Maximum Suggested Retail Price for eggs
00:33to avoid the sudden increase in its price.
00:42The Department of Agriculture is now closely monitoring the price of eggs in families
00:47to ensure that those who will buy will be able to afford it.
00:50According to the DA, the increase in the price is due to election spending
00:54and chicken deaths due to the hot weather.
00:57Based on the latest daily price monitoring of the DA,
01:00eggs are sold for Php 6 to Php 11 depending on the class and size.
01:05Here in Marikina Public Market, you can buy the smallest egg for Php 7.
01:10The small size, Php 7.50.
01:13The medium size, Php 8.00 per piece.
01:16The large size, Php 8.50.
01:19And the biggest or jumbo, Php 10.00 per piece.
01:23For each tray, Php 210 to Php 270 depending on the size of the egg.
01:30According to Jun, the price of each tray increased from Php 5 to Php 10.
01:37According to our supplier, the farm is replacing the chickens
01:43so that the number of eggs will increase.
01:46They are replacing the chickens almost at the same time
01:49so the supply is less.
01:52That's why the price of eggs is increasing.
01:55According to the DA, there are incentives for the implementation
01:59of the Maximum Suggested Retail Price or MSRP for eggs.
02:03According to some sellers, that's just fine.
02:06For me, that's just fine.
02:08So that it won't increase completely.
02:11That's why we should check everything, from the farm to the smallest store.
02:18We will check thoroughly if their price is correct or not.
02:23MSRP for eggs is also a favor for buyers.
02:28Even if it's expensive, we will still buy it.
02:30So it's better to have a Suggested Retail Price
02:34so that it won't change.
02:36It's better to have a fixed price.
02:39For my grandson, it's his favorite.
02:42He always needs eggs.
02:49According to the DA, they will have a consultation with the egg industry stakeholders
02:55regarding the implementation of the Maximum Suggested Retail Price for eggs.
02:59And that's the first news from Marikina City.
