    Profiteers blamed for pricey fish
    Gomez, Eireene Jairee (The Manila Times Publishing Corporation, 2019-01-23)
    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.

    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.
