THE Department of Agriculture (DA) is set to import 16,000 metric tons of yellow onions to address the supply shortage that is anticipated for the rest of the year.

A memorandum from the Bureau of Plant Industry (BPI) said that the measure also aims to prevent significant increases in onion prices, especially during the upcoming peak demand period.
