BFAR says fisheries modernization goal is to reduce import reliance
Excerpt
The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) described its 2022 fisheries modernization plan as a catch-up program designed to minimize the need for importing fish this year. According to the BFAR, the plan hopes to address the projected annual deficit in the supply of fish, a key source of protein for the population, of 44,000 metric tons this year. “This is more than 1% short of what is needed to attain full sufficiency… the bureau recommends focusing on innovation, modernization and intensification,” it added.
