‘Galunggong’ imports to stabilize fish prices
Excerpt
The Department of Agriculture (DA) has allowed the importation of “galunggong” (round scad) to address the rising prices of the fish variety in the market. Agriculture Secretary Emmanuel Piñol signed an administrative order on Wednesday night allowing the importation of 17,000 metric tons of galunggong, to be sold in wet markets. According to Ed Gongona, director of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources, the importation would ensure that prices of the fish would stabilize “despite the lack of supply in the market.”
