PFDA-LFPC records 35% growth in unloading volume during the June 4 to 10, 2021 period

Philippine Fisheries Development Authority – Lucena Fish Port Complex (PFDA-LFPC) has recorded a 35.18 percent increase in its weekly unloading volume during the June 4 – 10, 2021 unloading period.

Based on a centralized fish unloading report by PFDA RFPs, Operations Services Department (OSD), and Public Information Division (PID), PFDA-LFPC unloaded 371.03 metric tons (MT) of fish for its consumers in Quezon, Laguna, Batangas, Bicol Region, and Metro Manila. 

Records showed that galunggong took the position as the number one fish species with the highest availability of supply at 70.64 MT, followed by bangus (60.25MT), hipon (32.26 MT), tulingan (31.32 MT), and tilapia (28.08 MT).

As the province remains under GCQ until the end of the month, PFDA-LFPC will maintain round-the-clock port operations to preserve a positive trend of unloaded fish supply for its clients and stakeholders.
