The National Tuna Management Plan (NTMP) will seek to encourage more private-sector investment in the tuna industry, the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) said. BFAR spokesman Nazario C. Briguera said the investment plan follows Agriculture Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel, Jr.’s calls for the private sector to participate in efforts to boost food security and self-sufficiency at the recent National Tuna Conference in General Santos City.
