Excerpt

San Miguel Corp. (SMC) will grow 100,000 mud crabs monthly at its 10-hectare mangrove plantation in Hagonoy, Bulacan, to protect the forest and provide a new and sustainable source of livelihood for residents of the town and the rest of the province. SMC president and chief operating officer Ramon S. Ang said the mud crab business had long been established in the country. While the Philippines is one of the top producers of mud crabs in the world, experts say there is a need to further improve production to meet demand in the coming years.
