Philippine Fisheries Profile 2017 3


My heartfelt congratulations to the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) for the publication of the Philippine Fisheries Profile 2017. The importance of this publication cannot be overemphasized as this provides timely statistics and vital information about Philippine fisheries resources in 2017.

Reflecting the fishery sector’s contributions to the economy during the year, including the detailed volume and value of production of its sub-sectors

(aquaculture, municipal, and commercial fisheries); import-export figures; and other relevant fisheries information, this handbook is a must have tool for the DA and other government agencies tasked with crafting relevant policies towards the achievement of the country’s food security under the Duterte administration.

But even beyond government, I highly recommend the Philippine

Fisheries Profile 2017 as a most useful reference for all fishery stakeholders, including not only prospective local and foreign investors, but also other researchers and learners in the academe and from all

walks of life.

As I therefore commend BFAR for persevering in this yearly endeavor, I enjoin all the readers and users of Philippine Fisheries Profile 2017 to join and help us in reviving, strengthening and sustaining our fisheries sector!

EMMANUEL F. PIÑOL

Secretary

Major Countries Volume (MT) % Share % Share

By producing 796,395 metric tons of fish, crustaceans, molluscs, etc., the Philippines contributed 1% share to the total production on world aquaculture by principal producers.


Complete with useful statistical information on the country’s fisheries resources, the Philippine Fisheries Profile 2017 was completed by the Department of Agriculture - Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources using data from the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) and other official sources as reference.

The Philippine Fisheries Profile is an annual publication containing information obtained and streamlined from the usually enormous available data on fisheries. It clearly presents numerical data

and trends on fisheries production in terms of total volume and value, growth of the fisheries sub-sectors (aquaculture, municipal and commercial fisheries), export and import, as well as the sector’s actual contribution to the Philippine economy, among others.

DA-BFAR continues its full commitment of consistently improving the country’s fisheries performance annually, in line with the major thrust of the Department of Agriculture, under the leadership of Secretary Emmanuel F. Pin ol, of providing sufficient food and sustainable livelihood for Filipino families.

For the Bureau, this information serves as an effective instrument for monitoring, evaluating and innovating its various programs and basis for formulating and revising policies in response to emerging challenges and demands in the fisheries sector.

We thank the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), the Food and Nutrition Research Institute under the Department of Science and Technology (FNRI-DOST), the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) as well as other government agencies for their assistance and untiring support provided to us.

HIGHLIGHTS

World Scenario: Philippine Fisheries

In 2016, the Philippines ranked 8th among the top fish

producing countries in the world with its total production of 4.2

million metric tons of fish, crustaceans, molluscs, and aquatic

plants (including seaweeds). The production constitutes 2.1%

of the total world production of 202.2 million metric tons (FAO

Statistics).

The Philippines’ 0.796 million metric tons aquaculture

production of fish, crustaceans and molluscs in 2016 ranked

11th in the world and a 1.0% share to the total global

aquaculture production of 80.03 million metric tons. In terms

of value, the country’s aquaculture production of fish,

crustaceans and molluscs has amounted to over 1.79 billion

dollars (FAO Statistics).

Similarly, the Philippines is the world’s 3rd largest producer of

aquatic plants (including seaweeds) having produced a total of

1.4 million metric tons or nearly 4.7% of the total world

production of 30.14 million metric tons (FAO Statistics).

Contribution to National Economy, 2017

The fishing industry’s contribution to the country’s Gross

Domestic Products (GDP) were 1.2 % and 1.4% at current and

constant 2000 prices, respectively. This translates to some

P197.23 billion for current prices and P122.25 billion for

constant prices of the country’s GDP of P15,806 billion (current

prices) and P8,666 billion (constant prices).

The industry also accounted for 12.9% (P197.23 billion) and

16.5% (P122.25 billion) of the Gross Value Added (GVA) in

Agriculture, Hunting, Forestry and Fishing Group of P1,527

9



billion and P739 billion at current and constant prices, respectively,

the largest share next to agricultural crops.

Employment in the Fishing Industry

The industry employed a total of 1,614,368 fishing operators

nationwide (NSO 2002 Census for Fisheries) of which the

municipal fisheries sector accounted for more than one million

(1,371,676) operators while the commercial and aquaculture

sectors added some 16,497 and 226,195 operators, respectively.

Performance of the Fishing Industry

Total volume of fisheries production in the Philippines from

January to December 2017 reached 4,312,089.5 metric tons.

Fisheries production dropped down by 11.8% from 4.7 million

metric tons in CY 2013 to 4.31 million metric tons in CY 2017.

Average annual production growth rate within that period was

registered at 2.4%. In terms of value, the 2017 fisheries

production was valued at 243.9 billion pesos as compared with the

244.6 billion pesos in 2013, an average yearly increment of 0.59

billion pesos.

The 2017 fisheries production also showed a decrease of 1% from

the previous year’s production of 4.4 million metric tons. The

2017 production was valued at 244 billion pesos.

The annual performance of the fishing industry was attributed to

the production of the three (3) sectors. The commercial sector

decreased in production by 6.75% (0.95 million MT) as compared

to last year’s production of 1.02 million MT while the aquaculture

sector is 1.68% (2.24 million MT) higher than the previous year’s

level (2.20 million MT) followed by the municipal sector with –

1.05 % (1.13 million MT).

Fisheries Export and Import Performance

Exports 2017

Foreign trade performance of the fishery industry in 2017 regis-

tered a net surplus of 622 million dollars - total export value of

73.6 million US dollars and import value of 618 million US dol-

lars.

Export volume increased by 59% from 257,219 MT in 2016 to

478,206 MT in 2017. The three major export commodities (tuna,

seaweeds, shrimp/prawn) combined for 73.6% (351,961 MT) of

the total export volume (478,206 MT) and 60% (US$ 750,420 mil-

lion) of the total export value US$ 1,240 million in 2017.

Tuna remained as the top export commodity with a collective vol-

ume of 305,466 MT for fresh/chilled/frozen, smoked/dried, and

canned tuna products valued at US $ 504 million. Canned tuna,

though, constitutes bulk of tuna products being exported. In gen-

eral, tuna export is up by 195% in terms of volume and higher in

terms of value, 77.6% than the previous year. Major markets for

this commodity include Spain, Japan and Italy.

Seaweeds came 2nd on export value which fell from US$ 198 mil-

lion (1.8%) in 2016 to US$ 174 million in 2017 which translates

12% share to the total export earnings for that year. Carrageenan

remains the major product being shipped abroad comprising 92 %

of the total seaweed export value in pesos. USA, Belgium and Mexi-

co are among the major markets for Philippine seaweed products.
