Despite the natural calamities that struck the Philippines in the third quarter, the country’s fish unloading volume still managed to rise by 7.6 percent year-on-year during the period, according to the Philippine Fisheries Development Authority (PFDA). The PFDA said regional fish ports (RFPs) delivered 139,057.66 metric tons (MT) to consumers from July to September. This was higher than the 129,227.5 MT recorded in the same period last year. The agency said the landed catch during the reference period was equivalent to an average daily unloading of 1,528.11 MT.
