P50 bangus per kilo possible, says BFAR

The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources is confident that bangus prices can plunge to as much as P50 per kilo if good domestic production is maintained, and to ensure a stable local harvest, the government needs to increase the supply of fingerlings. According to BFAR spokesperson Nazario Briguera, the agency has a National Food Stock Development Program where they can increase the number of inahing bangus and inahing tilapia.
