The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) said it delivered production equipment to artisanal “budbud” salt makers in Iloilo. The equipment grant was part of the Development of Salt Industry Project (DSIP) to add value to the output of traditional saltmakers. The program provides such communities with water pumps, hoses, plastic drums, weighing scales, bamboo baskets, and other items.
