The Institute of Contemporary Economics (ICE), in collaboration with the Iloilo State University of Fisheries, Science and Technology (ISUFST) and the Philippine Association of Fish Producers Inc. (PAFPI), is contributing to the multisectoral efforts to revive Iloilo’s bangus industry. ISUFST Director for Resource Generation Dr. Roy Villanueva introduced local bangus producers, led by PAFPI Chairman David Villaluz, to the soon-to-be-completed Bangus Processing Facility at the ISUFST Main Campus in Barotac Nuevo, Iloilo. The facility, expected to be operational by the end of March 2025, aims to transform freshly harvested bangus into high-value products.
