                    [Summary] => GENERAL SANTOS CITY – It is imperative that Philippine tuna sector players respond to the ongoing industry crisis and prepare themselves for fierce competition in the global market.


At the 2nd National Tuna Congress which was held recently in General Santos City, fisheries specialist Dr. Stanley Swerdloff said the current global tuna crisis will almost certainly result in a worldwide shakeout.


"The least competitive fleets and processors will drop out, and those companies with imagination and deficiency will expand," he added.

This optimistic forecast came about as the price of canned tuna in the world market recently dropped to less than $14 per case from $26 last year, triggering a decline in the price of purse seine catches to a startling $350 per metric ton from $1,000 in 1998.
