Planting and growing onions in the Philippines is considered a gold mine by our dear farmers. Because when the farm gate price is ranging from PHP45 per kilo and up, and at the same time you harvested a higher yield. Which means mababayaran mo na ang utang mong pinang-puhunan sa pagtatanim. HAHAHA! A reality check that, agriculture farming in the Philippines doesn’t receive much attention from the authorities. We plant to live. We provide food on the table of every Filipinos but, our worth is not that just respected. Why? High prices of fertilizer, insecticides, diesel for our pump, and so much more. Under those circumstances, we can merely sell our crops at a very rock-bottom price. Living in the Philippine countryside is not just about simple life with fresh air and a relaxing atmosphere. You’ll also experience the struggles of little resources. That’s the reason why onion farming is a gold mine to us. It provides us hope to sustain and support our expenses all throughout the dry seasons. Okay… back into farming details. If you are planning to produce onions, we hope that this content helps you, by providing you a guide for onion production through the farmer's way.
Bulb onions grow properly in friable and well-drained soil with good water-absorbing capacity. Onions are very sensitive in too much cold as well as in heat. You can start to plant onion seeds as early as October or November or as late as January. Then you can transplant the onions 40-45 days (you can check this in our part II video [ Ссылка ])
