The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) office in Region 2 (Cagayan Valley) said that with the increasing production of oysters particularly in Cagayan province, oyster producers can expect more income with the introduction of value-added oyster products.

According to the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), production of oyster in Region 2 continued to rise since 2016, which could boost value-adding of the marine species. PSA records showed that from 648 metric tons (MT) in 2016, oyster production in Region 2 region rose to 709 metric tons in 2018.
