How the tuna sector contributes to local and international markets
Processing innovations that add value and reduce waste

The role of sustainable practices in keeping the industry globally competitive
In line with #Agrilink 2025’s theme, “Logistics: The Key to an Efficient Market and Value Chain,” the seminar highlights how efficient fishing, processing, and distribution practices strengthen the tuna industry, open global markets, and provide more livelihood opportunities for Filipino communities.
