Onion smuggling rackets thrive as staple becomes a luxury in Philippines
Millions of dollars’ worth of onions seized by authorities as inflation crisis sees the cost of other basics soar
Their price soared so rapidly, some likened them to gold. Restaurants stripped them from their menus, officials warned travellers not to import them without special permission and millions of pesos’ worth have reportedly been seized in raids.

Bags have been found in warehouse raids, and hidden among shipments of clothing. Last month, authorities uncovered 17m pesos’ worth of yellow onions inside containers labelled as holding blouses, slippers, and various household items. A few days before that, 20m pesos’ worth of onions, weighing 50,000kg, were found hidden among pastries and bread products.

Emergency laws brought in by the Modi government just two years ago were used to enforce the ban.
