GSFPC continues to provide enough fishery products to consumers. Philippine Fisheries Development Authority – General Santos Fish Port Complex (PFDA-GSFPC) has unloaded 4,943.69 metric tons (MT) of fish for its clients and stakeholders, withstanding the damages brought by Tropical Storm Crising during the May 14-20, 2021 period.

Philippine Fisheries Development Authority – General Santos Fish Port Complex (PFDA-GSFPC) has unloaded 4,943.69 metric tons (MT) of fish for its clients and stakeholders, withstanding the damages brought by Tropical Storm Crising during the May 14-20, 2021 period.

According to a centralized fish unloading report collated by PFDA RFPs, Operations Services Department (OSD), and Public Information Division (PID), PFDA-GSFPC managed to unload a significant volume of fish supply despite the recent onslaught of Crising in Mindanao where most of the port’s major fishing grounds are located.

In addition, the report also showed that PFDA-GSFPC sustained an adequate volume of fish for buyers, suppliers, and traders, regardless of thorough disinfection activities against the spread of COVID-19 virus every Sunday, which affects fish unloading and other port activities. 

Skipjack tuna (frozen) remains on the top list with the highest unloading tally at 2,519.62 MT. The list includes skipjack tuna (gulyasan), bisugo, galunggong, and yellowfin tuna (tambakol/bariles), completing the top five common species with the highest availability record.

As the port recovers from the counterproductive effects of the tropical storm, PFDA-GSFPC has set on its ways to provide enough fishery products for its consumers.
