The Philippines aquaculture industry is looking at boosting the production of pangasius to meet growing demand for pangasius fillet both in local and export markets.
The industry even targets to at least substitute the country’s importation of pangasius fillet with locally-grown pangasius by 2016 reports Zambo Times.
“Pangasius fillet is seen to impact substantially in the food sufficiency thrust of the government,” Department of Industry (DTI) Regional Operations and Development Group (RODG) Undersecretary Merly Cruz said during this year’s National Pangasius Conference in Antipolo City.
