The Department of Agriculture (DA) expects the retail price of fish to increase between 15 to 30 percent with the expected drop in the consumption of pork during the Holy Week. At a press conference, Agriculture Assistant Secretary Arnel de Mesa gave assurance of enough fish supply with the start of Holy Week on April 14. "We will closely monitor the market if there will be unreasonable increases,” he added.
