    ₱900-M PHL shrimp exports to US may be affected by ban
    San Juan, Andrea (Philippine Business Daily Mirror Publishing, Inc., 2024-02-18)
    Nearly a billion pesos worth of shrimp exports to the United States are at risk due to the US’s temporary ban on the importation of shrimp and shrimp products from the Philippines, data processed by the Department of Trade and Industry-Export Marketing Bureau (DTI-EMB) showed. Last year, Philippine shrimp exports to the US reached nearly P900 million. In five years, the highest was recorded in 2019 when it hit more than P2 billion. In an advisory published on DTI-EMB’s website last week, the export marketing arm of DTI revealed that the US temporarily prohibited importation of shrimp caught using commercial fishing technology that “adversely” affects turtles such as the use of Turtle Excluder Devices.

    Oplan Isda' yields seafood produce
    Reyes, Jonas (Concept & Information Group, Inc., 2022-04-01)
    The Provincial Fisheries Office (PFO) here announced that at least half a ton of seafood was bought by the fisherfolk cooperatives of Tarlac from another fisherfolk group — Bulacan’s Nagkakaisang Samahan ng Mangingisda sa Bayan ng Paombong (NASAMAPA). PFO Tarlac chief Lanie Lamyong said that the trading of “ready for vending” seafood produce was through the efforts of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources-Central Luzon’s (BFAR3) Fisheries Post-Harvest and Monitoring Division (FPHMD) and her office. “The procurement of the seafood produce is one of the many commercial links between fisherfolk cooperatives from other provinces,” Lamyong said, adding that it is patterned to BFAR’s “Oplan Isda” program which is a marketing intervention to increase fisherfolk income by strengthening relations among fisherfolk cooperatives.

    Fish import service fee set at ₱500/ton
    Arcalas, Jasper Emmanuel Y. (Philippine Business Daily Mirror Publishing, Inc., 2021-09-13)
    The government is requiring traders to pay a service fee of P500 for every metric ton (MT) of fish they will import under the government’s small pelagic fish importation program, based on the supplemental guidelines issued by the Department of Agriculture (DA). This means that the government will earn as much as P30 million under the program, which allows eligible and accredited traders to bring in 60,000 MT of fish to beef up domestic supply. The DA has also required importers to ship their allocated volume from the country of origin within 20 days after receiving the sanitary and phytosanitary import clearance (SPS-IC) for their shipments.

    Vast potentials for fishery products
    Yap, Julio Jr (Panay News, Inc., 2017-11-07)
    With its vast natural resources, the Philippines is considered as one of the key players in the export market for fish and fishery products – taking into account the market demand and good prices being offered for these exportable commodities. Anchoring on these potentials, there is a need to address the inadequate supply of raw materials being encountered by some exporters, and to help small-medium entrepreneurs (SMEs) promote live and frozen fish and fishery products. The recent Fisheries Women Entrepreneurs’ Forum was able to identify some of the products with export potential, such as black tiger shrimp, prawns, crabs, tuna, abalone, lobster, octopus, cuttlefish, milkfish, seaweeds, groupers, squids, eel, siganid, and hair tail as products with export potential.
