MiraflorSIQUIJOR – Chinese government officials have raised the possibility of importing bangus or milkfish from the Philippines, Agriculture Undersecretary for Fisheries Eduardo Gongona said. On concerns whether the country has enough bangus to export, Piñol said this plan will be backed by BFAR’s fish cage program. Gongona said that Chinese officials, together with some companies interested in importing bangus will come to the Philippines within this year to further discuss this plan. To initiate the fishing boat modernization program, Piñol said they are already drafting a proposal to be submitted to President Rodrigo Duterte.
