The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) plans to build 252 community fish landing centers in strategic fishing communities to reduce post-harvest losses, Agriculture Secretary Proceso Alcala said recently. The fish landing centers, costing P2.85 million each, would house post-harvest equipment and tools that would enable fisherfolk to preserve the freshness of their catch as well as the value. Local consumers would also benefit from the fish landing centers as they would have better access to safe and quality fishery products.
