Strawberry farmers said that it should be the peak season for their crop, but due to rains their output has been cut in half. "Mas gusto na namin ‘yong malakas na ulan kasi kung mahina lang tulad ngayon, naiiwan ang tubig sa mga dahon, nabubulok ang strawberry," said strawberry vendor Karen Baling. "Sa 500 square meters na tanim nakakakuha na kami ng 5 crates, ngayon kalahati na lang," added Margie Galasa, another strawberry vendor. The lower supply has driven up the prices of the fruit to almost double - from P60 to P70 per kilogram last year, a kilo now sells P120 to P130 according to officials of La Trinidad local government. This reduced output comes even as the local government continues to support the local strawberry industry, which is also their main product in line with the government's "one town, one product" program. La Trinidad Mayor Artemio Galwan also said that they are also producing other varieties of the crop to increase production. Aside from the rains, around 20 percent of strawberry crops were destroyed by frost in December 2007. Those engaged in the local strawberry industry told ABS-CBN Baguio's Pia Gutierrez that they are hoping to regain lost ground in their profits this coming summer season, if the weather would permit them to.
