GUIMBA, Nueva Ecija – A group of farmers in Central Luzon gathered in a peaceful assembly here last week to air their grievances and call the attention of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. over the steep drop of palay prices in Central Luzon.
During the peak season, the farmers said, traders bought palay from farmers for as low as P15 to P14 per kilogram and, in some places, it even dropped to P11 to P12 per kilogram.
