                    [Title] => El Niño won’t stunt growth of fisheries sector – BFAR head
                    [Summary] => Despite El Niño hitting the country in October until the first quarter of 2003, the prospects of the fisheries sector would still be looking good, according to Director Malcolm Sarmiento Jr. of the Bureau of fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR).


Sarmiento’s fearless projection was made during the Fish Talk forum of the Philippine Agricultural Journalists Inc. (PAJ) held at the Jo’s Chicken Inato Restaurant in Quezon City, where he and Quedancor president and chief executive officer Nelson C. Buenaflor talked about Fishery production and support services.

Quedancor president and chief executive officer Nelson C. Buenaflor told members of the Philippine Agricultural Journalists (PAJ) that the credit facility was an offshoot of directives by President Arroyo during the last Mindanao Business Council, where she particularly cited the financing needs of small seaweed farmers in coastal areas of the South.

The fishery sector grew by 5.5 percent in 2001, with the aquaculture subsector growing by 10.6 percent, municipal fishermen subsector by 4.4 percent and the commercial subsector by four percent.

Earlier, the DA sought the cancellation of $3 million of the original FSP loan value, reducing it to $86 million.
