DA chief seeks amendment of Fisheries Authority charter
Excerpt
Agriculture Secretary Francisco Tiu Laurel Jr. called for the amendment of the charter of the Philippine Fisheries Development Authority (PFDA) to expand its function to include developing and managing marine and agro-industrial estates across the country to ensure ample food supply. Laurel said he envisions marine and agro-industrial estates to be one-stop shops that will house ports, cold-storage facilities, silos, and warehouses to store farm and marine products such as rice, sugar, vegetables, palm oil, and other basic commodities and ensure their stable supply.
