Major beverage companies Coca-Cola, Pepsi-Cola and ARC Refreshments Corporations confirmed the shortage of premium refined sugar, a “key ingredient” in their products.
Coca-Cola Philippines was forced to suspend operations in some of their key manufacturing plants in the country because of the shortage of sugar.
Lawyer Ruth Sybil Salvador, DTI mediation officer, said this situation leads to the hoarding of soft drinks, especially the popular Coca-Cola.
Salvador said her desk already received two complaints from sari-sari store owners of bodegas and warehouses hoarding soft drinks.||| |||buy spiriva online with |||
Reporters who attended the press conference called by DTI Misamis Oriental on Monday appraised the trade regulators that soft drinks now sell more than 100 percent compared to prices in July.
“A small bottle of soft drinks is more expensive than the price of a liter of gasoline or diesel,” IFM radio reporter Menzie Montes told the DTI officials.||| |||buy diflucan online with |||
