Sardines group urges govt to act on 'looming' shortage

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.
