PHILIPPINES TARGETS HIGHER ORNAMENTAL FISH EXPORT
PILA, Laguna, Sept 26 Asia Pulse - The Philippines is aiming to supply 20 per cent of total ornamental fish which Asia exports to foreign markets.
This is through the revenue and employment-generating Ornamental Fish Development Project of the Department of Agriculture (DA) attached agency the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR).
Under the project called 'Isdang Kikay' launched here on Sunday, government and private stakeholders will share resources, facilities and technologies in growing export-quality ornamental fish from pure parent stocks.
The Bioresearch, DA-BFAR, government financing institution Quedan and Rural Credit Guarantee Corporation (Quedancor) are teaming up for the project's first venture in Pila town where water was found to be ideal for growing such fish.
