BUTUAN CITY – Seven months after its inception, members of the Cagdianao Farmers and Fisherfolk Marketing Cooperative (CAFFIMACO) celebrated their inaugural and fruitful harvest of bangus (milkfish) on Tuesday.
Last June, the Dinagat Islands provincial government allocated 3,000 fingerlings of bangus to CAFFIMACO for their production initiative.
Governor Nilo Demerey Jr. emphasized the importance of promoting alternative sources of income for fishermen in Dinagat, with bangus production being a priority. The successful harvest, yielding approximately 450 kilos of bangus in Cagdianao town, demonstrated the diligent efforts of fisherfolk organizations in making their projects economically viable and sustainable.
Governor Demerey expressed commitment to supporting various sectors in Dinagat through sustainable projects under the Remedy for Livelihood program and interventions. CAFFIMACO plans to distribute the harvested bangus to different market centers in the province and expressed aspirations for the expansion of their bangus production project, including ventures into value-adding for some of their harvests(PNA)
