Sayote

HINDI NAIMAS. We’re doing a quiet, uncomplicated Rescue Buy of CHAYOTE among our farmers in Benguet. The price for this reliable crop has been untenably low for several week now. How untenable? The cost to harvest is now double the price to sell. A comboy to carry it down, P50/sack. To use a tramline like this one, P10/sack. In some places two or three tramlines are involved, P20 ~ P30. Yung presyong ng diesel na tumataaas, yung pahinante, if the farmer owns a truck, add P5/kilo. Yung arkila if he does not own a truck, add P5/kilo. Tapos pagdating sa bagsakan, the best price he can get is P7/kilo. Nyemas.

CHAYOTE RESCUE BUY. We are seeking support to at least return our farmers’ sweat equity by buying the Sayote at the right price. First class sayote right now is fetching only P7/kilo and the right price is P25, add P2.5 for RuRi’s transport and dispatch costs = P27.50/kilo. Sapat na. If you give P220, your share shall be 8 kilos.
