The Department of Agriculture (DA) said it will counter high fish prices in Tagbilaran, Bohol with its own fish market, with the intent of providing competition for business interests allegedly manipulating fish prices there. The market will feature products offered directly from fishermen and will be preparatory measure ahead of the possible establishment of a Suggested Retail Price (SRP) system in the province, the DA said. Agriculture Secretary Emmanuel F. Piñol said that the fish market will follow the template of the DA’s TienDA stores for farm produce.
