    DA close to bagging $200-M loan for FishCoRe
    Arcalas, Jasper Emmanuel (Philippine Business Daily Mirror Publishing, Inc., 2021-10-28)
    The Department of Agriculture (DA) on Wednesday said it is close to securing a $200-million (P10 billion) loan from the World Bank to bankroll a 7-year project that seeks to improve the country’s fisheries production. The DA said it is in the final stages of talks with the World Bank for the Fisheries and Coastal Resiliency (FishCoRe), a project that would benefit at least 500,000 fishermen and stakeholders nationwide. The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR), an attached agency of the DA, will be the main implementing agency for the FishCoRe Project, which is expected to commence early next year. The DA said the project seeks to support the scaling-up and modernization of the country’s capture fisheries and aquaculture industry.

    Mogato, Anna Gabriela A. (BusinessWorld Publishing Corporation, 2018-08-16)
    The Department of Agriculture (DA) has allowed the entry of up to 17,000 metric tons (MT) of round scad, commonly known as galunggong, which will reach markets ahead of the closed fishing season when supply of the fish is expected to dwindle. Agriculture Secretary Emmanuel F. Piñol signed the Certificate of Necessity enabling the import of round scad on Wednesday. The timing of the permit will allow imports to arrive by Sept. 1. On Friday, the DA and the fisheries industry agreed to set a tariff rate of 5% for such imports.
