30,000 metric tons of fish imports eyed

Quick Summary:

THE Department of Agriculture (DA) is set to authorize the importation of 30,000 metric tons (MT) of pelagic fish next week in anticipation of the closed fishing season.

Meanwhile, the Philippine Fisheries Development Authority (PFDA) recently said the fish unloaded in the country’s regional ports jumped by more than 50 percent year-on-year in the second quarter.

The DA earlier said the three-month closed fishing season starts November 1 in waters northeast of Palawan and from November 15 in the Visayan Seas and Zamboanga Peninsula.
