00:00Again, the Agriculture Department has confirmed that the price of eggs and chicken has not been affected by the confirmed bird flu in Camarines Norte.
00:08This was reported by Alan Francisco.
00:12The price of eggs and chicken is not rising this holiday season.
00:16That was confirmed by the Department of Agriculture in the middle of the detection of highly pathogenic avian influenza in a farm in Camarines Norte.
00:25In the program Mike Abilive, the Agriculture Assistant Secretary Genevieve Guevara said that they are continuing their coordination with the suppliers of eggs and chicken.
00:35They are guaranteeing a sufficient supply.
00:39We at the DA are coordinating with our suppliers and they are guaranteeing us that when it comes to Christmas, we have a sufficient supply.
00:52We are also monitoring the prices in the markets.
00:57That is also part of our mandate.
01:00We will see if there are increases and we will really focus on that because the prices should not have a substantial increase when it comes to Christmas.
01:12Just because of Christmas.
01:14We are monitoring that.
01:16The price of chicken ranges from P175 to P240 per kilo while the price of eggs ranges from P7 to P9 and P0.60 depending on the size.
01:29The Bureau of Animal Industry first ensured their prevention of all transboundary diseases to protect the industry of livestock and poultry in the country.
01:39As for pork, Guevara said, they have not seen an increase in its price.
01:45We are not seeing a substantial increase.
01:53Of course, there are ranges in the daily prices because sometimes it depends on the supply.
