Philippines exported $1.426 billion worth of fishery products - lags other ASEAN neighbors

"Food for every ones table and every homes"

Rizal Philippines   | September 15  2014



From UAP  Seafood and aquaculture exports

Philippines exported a total of $1.426 million worth of seafood products and most of these were from processed tuna worth $632.00

Despite being an archipelago and with large EEZ and coastline, ponds and brackish waters, the fisheries sector of the Philippines  underperforms and fisherfolks are among the poorest in the country?

Why is this so?
