Excerpt
The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) has blamed profiteers and middlemen for the high prices of fish in the market. BFAR National Director Eduardo Gongona said the country had a “steady” supply of fish. “Our imported galunggong (round scad) has arrived in our fishing ports and bulk of these were already distributed to various markets. So why are prices still high? It’s mainly because of the middlemen or the in-between,” Gongona said.
