    Bulk-buying of sardines mulled
    Romero, Maria (Concept & Information Group, Inc., 2022-09-19)
    Cannery owners are mulling bulk-buying sardines from municipal fishers to sustain their livelihood and keep the cheap prices of the canned goods, a social product that has helped keep Filipino families afloat, especially during disasters and calamities. At a press conference on Monday, Francisco Buencamino, executive director of the Sardines Canners Association of the Philippines, said his group would need the support of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources to support the proposed initiative. “We want to discuss this matter with the BFAR but they are not responsive to our letters. I would love the privilege of having discussions with them. We need to directly agree to craft an agreement, which will also help us avert any crisis,” Buencamino told reporters.

    Sardines industry stakeholders have urged the government to initiate a tripartite meeting to prevent a “looming” shortage of the fish product amid concerns, such as bad weather, that are affecting the current catch of vessels. A group of sardine canners and representatives from municipal fishermen expressed openness toward brokering various measures and mechanisms that would ensure the sufficiency of the country’s sardine supply nationwide.

    Fisherfolk warn of fake sardine shortage
    Marcelo, Elizabeth; Rivera, Danessa; Talavera, Catherine (Philippine Star Printing Co., Inc., 2022-09-07)
    Fisherfolk group Pambansang Lakas ng Kilusang Mamamalakaya ng Pilipinas (Pamalakaya) has warned the government about a shortage of tamban or Indian sardines that is allegedly being “fabricated” by big fishing firms and canneries. In a press statement yesterday, Pamalakaya said the supposed low supply and output of tamban was just being made up by fishing firms and operators supposedly to increase the retail prices of canned sardines and to push for their vessels’ entry into municipal waters. “The BFAR (Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources) should remain vigilant against this fabricated tamban shortage that will only favor big fishing firms and operators over the interests of small fishers and consumers,” Pamalakaya national chairman Fernando Hicap said.
