Aquaculture output seen normalizing with import ban lifted on fish feed raw material
Excerpt
The admission of a pork-based raw material used in the manufacture of fish feed is expected to lead to a normalization of aquaculture production, after the raw material was subject to a temporary import ban following an outbreak of African Swine Fever (ASF) in the source country, a former fisheries official said. “The non-availability of this ingredient resulted in much decline in our production,” according to Asis G. Perez, former director of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources and convenor of advocacy group Tugon Kabuhayan, speaking to BusinessWorld by phone.
