Abstract

When DA Secretary Dr. William Dar called on all DA agencies to refocus programs/activities to sustain food security in the country amid Covid-19, the National Fisheries Research and Development Institute (NFRDI) was among the agencies that immediately heeded. Soon, 22 refocused projects were approved with a total budget of Php23 million. The refocused projects got the Secretary's nod since these were expected to immediately result in increased fish production for the country. This was the basic requirement of Dr. Dar for the refocused projects/activities.
