Excerpt
The lifting of the ban on harvesting yellowfin tuna in the Pacific boosted domestic production by 25 percent year-on-year in the first quarter, both in volume and in value, according to the Bureau of Agricultural Statistics (BAS). BAS data show that production of yellowfin tuna reached 32,348 metric tons valued at P1.4 billion. Yield from commercial fisheries, which accounted for two-thirds of the period’s haul, went up by 38 percent to 21,610 MT.
