    Shrimp production to double in 5 yrs-DA
    Go, Marianne V. (Philippine Star Printing Co., Inc., 2008-07-10)
    The Department of Agriculture (DA) is optimistic that domestic shrimp production will double in the next five years and that the Philippines will regain its status as one of the world's top exporters of shrimp. Agriculture Undersecretary Jesus Emmanuel Paras said the move by Agriculture Secretary Arthur Yap last year to lift the ban on the importation and culture of Pacific white shrimp into the country has resulted in a speedy rebound by the country's shrimp industry. The importation and culture of Pacific white shrimp is strictly monitored by Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) together with the Southeast Asia Fisheries Development Center (SEAFDEC).

    DA eyes big increase in shrimp production in next 6 months
    Domingo, Ronnel W. (Philippine Daily Inquirer, Inc., 2013-08-20)
    The Department of Agriculture is gearing up for a shrimp production blitz to enable the Philippines to regain a firm foothold in the export market within the next six months. In an interview, Agriculture Secretary Proceso J. Alcala said he had directed the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources to draw up a roadmap for the shrimp industry within the next two to three weeks. According to the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center (Seafdec), the Philippines is now following a path that is different from its neighbors and is finding the cultivation of both the monodon or Tiger variety and vannamei or white variety as necessary for the development of the shrimp industry.
