DA set to open P57 million worth of aquaculture projects

Agriculture Secretary Arthur Yap said the projects to be launched over the next two months include three mariculture parks worth P5 million each in Sagnay in Camarines Sur, Calapan in Oriental Mindoro and Puerto Princesa in Palawan; a P6-million seaweed processing plant and a P100,000 seaweed nursery, both in Parang, Maguindanao.
