                    [Summary] => The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) is poised to crack down on profiteers following reports that several small retailers have increased their selling price for milk products, coffee and even flour.


During yesterday’s meeting of the National Price Coordinating Council (NPCC), Acting Trade and Industry Secretary Adrian S. Cristobal Jr. admitted that local milk manufacturers have increased their prices by five to eight percent due to the continued depreciation of the peso against the dollar.

This means that imports of trucks weighing six tons and above and buses 12 tons and above will be liberalized, but  those below six tons will be banned.
