The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources has set a target of putting up over the next three years at least 50 municipal port projects all over the country. BFAR Director Asis G. Perez said in an interview that the projects were meant to address the imbalance in government support, which had been going mostly to production. “These ports will represent support in post-production, which is also very important,” Perez said. He explained that the greater government outlay in post-production should be seen in infrastructure such as ports, cold storage and ice plants.
