                    [Summary] => SAN FERNANDO CITY, La Union — Due to the destruction of tobacco crops by sudden rains last month, tobacco farmers in the Ilocos Region are now demanding higher prices for their produce. They are also appealing to private tobacco contractors to allow them to delay payment for their loans.


Avelino Dacanay, chairman of the Solidarity of Peasants Against Exploitation, an affiliate of Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas, said they are asking for higher tobacco prices because almost half of their produce were destroyed by rains and prices of basic commodities continue to rise.
