                    [Summary] => BAYAMBANG, Pangasinan — A mysterious disease threatens to kill the onion industry in this top onion-producing town of Pangasinan.


In fact, the disease has caused a decline in the Bayambang farmers’ produce by as much as 30 percent, resulting in some P39-million losses this year. 


Mayor Leocadio de Vera Jr. told The STAR that the national government should address this problem soonest to alleviate the plight of farmers growing onions in about 650 hectares in 30 of the town’s 66 barangays.
