Regional ports registered lower fish unloading volume in September, the Philippine Fisheries Development Authority (PFDA) reported. Data from the PFDA showed the fish unloading volume in September declined by 13 percent to 36,844.39 metric tons (MT) from the previous month’s 42,354.45 MT. “Despite inclement weather and fewer commercial fishing vessels arriving in September, the PFDA RFPs [regional fishing ports] are continuously giving their best to provide enough and rightly priced fishery products to their clients and stakeholders,” the agency said in a statement.
