According to Ramas, the price varies depending on the quality of the husks. Clean husks from Bt corn sell as high as P20 per sack, while the unclean ones from the traditional counterparts command a price of P10-15 per sack. Corn farmers can earn additional income from corn husks, said Rue R.

The ceremony highlighted the "Corn Day" during the "Farmer and Fisherfolk Month" celebration. That is, by selling the corn husks after harvesting.
