GenSan fishport to undergo rehabilitation
Excerpt
The government is set to rehabilitate and modernize the General Santos Fish Port Complex in a bid to spur growth in the local tuna industry. Agriculture Secretary William Dar said there is strong need for the modernization of the facility as the port services 75 percent of the tuna supply in the country. “Tuna, with breeding area nearby General Santos City, is a very important commodity contributing to the total gross value-added coming from the fishery sector,” Dar said.
