As one of the agency’s ongoing flagship projects, Philippine Fisheries Development Authority (PFDA) visited the site where an improved and developed PFDA-Sual Fish Port (PFDA-SFP) is soon to rise under the national government’s “Build, Build, Build” program on June 22, 2021.

Led by PFDA General Manager Atty. Glen A. Pangapalan, the PFDA visiting was joined by the Department of Agriculture (DA) Undersecretary for Agri-Industrialization and for Fisheries Cheryl Marie Natividad-Caballero as they go around the only Regional Fish Port (RFP) in Northern Luzon.

According to PFDA Technical Services Department (TSD), the rehabilitation of PFDA-SFP is expected to go under the procurement process this month. Once this process is done and construction goes on full swing, clients and stakeholders can soon unload and avail various fishery and non-fishery products in the next few years.
