A newly inaugurated PHP 30-million aquaculture feed mill in Tigbauan, Iloilo is set to open a steady market for local crop producers while easing one of the heaviest cost burdens on the province’s fish farmers, officials said during the facility’s launch on April 27, 2026. The Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center Aquaculture Department (SEAFDEC/AQD) and the Department of Agriculture–Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (DA-BFAR) jointly opened the plant inside the SEAFDEC/AQD compound in Barangay Buyu-an. It is designed to produce 5 metric tons of feed per day at standard capacity, with a maximum output of up to 8 metric tons.
