A new medium-scale aquaculture feed mill is expected to ease production costs and strengthen fish farming operations in Western Visayas after it was officially inaugurated on April 27 by the Department of Agriculture-Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Regional Office 6 and the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center/Aquaculture Department. Located inside the SEAFDEC/AQD complex in Barangay Buyu-an, Tigbauan, Iloilo, the facility can produce up to 5 metric tons of aquaculture feeds daily, or around 1,560 metric tons annually. The output is expected to support farms covering as much as 160 hectares of ponds across the region.
