Why did the cabin crew smuggle onions?
The philippine is going through an onion crisis, during a short time period, the onion price has hiked from $2 per kg to $11 per kg.
This is the worst kind of crisis where the price of chicken in the Philippines is half of that of Onion. Even meat is 25% cheaper than the current onion prices.
The typhoon of 2022 is the main reason for such a price hike. It has caused a shortage of agricultural products in the country.
