                    [Summary] => SANTIAGO, Ilocos Sur — Thousands of farmers in the North who are dependent on the dying tobacco industry may soon find themselves planting seaweed in coastal areas.


Seaweed culture, according to the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR), is the most promising alternative livelihood means for these farmers.

Nestor Domenden, BFAR’s Region 1 (Ilocos) director, said his agency is more than willing to extend assistance to the displaced farmers, particularly those planting tobacco in salty areas, on seaweed planting.
