Aquaculture to drive up Philippine fish harvest, says FAO
Excerpt
The country’s fisheries production is projected to rise by 12 percent to almost 2.9 million metric tons (MT) in 2032 on the back of higher aquaculture output, the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) said. In its latest global report, the FAO estimated that Philippine fish output in 2032 would reach 2.881 million MT, up from 2.572 million MT recorded in 2022. The FAO noted that aquaculture production would contribute more to the country’s fisheries production by 2032.
