‘Importing galunggong will not lower fish prices’
Excerpt
Importing P1.4 billion worth of fish, specifically galunggong (round scad), won’t bring down rising fish prices, Rep. Jose Atienza of Buhay party said on Thursday. “This is a band-aid solution and a poor government intervention. It does not address the problem of dwindling fish production,” he said in a statement. The Agriculture department has claimed that the importation of 17,000 metric tons of galunggong will lower the price of fish to P75 to P80 per kilo.
