                    [Summary] => Sen. Manny Villar called yesterday for the immediate imposition of safety nets to help the country’s vegetable farmers cope with the rash of imports from China and Taiwan.


Villar, chairman of the Senate committee on agriculture, issued the call following a STAR report that Benguet vegetable farmers are reeling from the flood of vegetables from Taiwan and China.

The report said Metro Manila vegetable dealers have stopped buying carrots, potatoes, cabbage, cucumber and lettuce from Benguet in favor of the cheaper products from Taiwan and China.
