The Department of Agriculture said it authorized the importation of an additional 8,280 metric tons of frozen small pelagic fish, including round scad and mackerel, to mitigate the domestic supply shortage caused by recent typhoons.
The initial import allocation aims to supplement wet market supplies during the closed fishing season, which runs from November to mid-March, a critical period for fish spawning in major areas. Tiu Laurel said the 8,000 metric tons would not affect the previously established maximum importable volume, while the remaining 280 metric tons would be allocated to KADIWA ng Pangulo centers.
