The country's agriculture and fisheries sector grew in 2014, according to an official of the Department of Agriculture. DA's Assistant Secretary for Field Operations Edilberto De Luna said that based on reports from the National Economic and Development Authority, the country's agriculture and fisheries production grew by 4.8 percent in the fourth quarter of 2014. "This is 0.9 percent higher than the same period of 2013," De Luna said. Crop production also increased by 5.7 percent, mostly due to a bumper harvest of palay and corn.
