Stabilize prices, abolish control – fishers

AMID the increasing retail prices of galunggong (round scad), the Pambansang Lakas ng Kilusang Mamamalakaya ng Pilipinas (Pamalakaya) is calling for stabilizing its prices by decisively abolishing the “konsignasyon” system or control of middlemen in the country’s fish trade

The group proposed that fish ports or “landingan” should be turned over to fishermen cooperatives to get rid of private traders’ control.
