DTI’s 2020 noche buena price list | F&B Report

OCTOBER 27, 2022

The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) has released the same price list on Noche Buena products from 2019. Based on the agency’s memo, the suggested retail prices (SRP) cover ham, fruit cocktail, cheese, pasta, sandwich spread, mayonnaise, macaroni, creamer, spaghetti, and tomato sauce, with some products having a limited price timeline.

“The process is not easy, but we appreciate the response of many companies as they want to show the Bayanihan spirit by not increasing (the prices of) their Christmas products this year. We talked to each manufacturer to retain the 2019 prices (of their) Noche Buena products,” says DTI Undersecretary Ruth Castelo. 

Prior to the release of the price list, the DTI Consumer Protection Group reviewed the prices and the proposals of some companies for a price increase. DTI conferred with manufacturers to evaluate the basis of any price adjustment and cost increases. The agency wanted minimal cost movement or, if possible, no price increase at all, especially since many Filipinos are experiencing financial difficulties due to the pandemic

“The DTI extends its appreciation to the manufacturers for showing their solidarity in providing affordable Noche Buena products to consumers this Christmas by committing to retain their 2019 prices for this year despite COVID-19,” says Trade Secretary Ramon Lopez.
