Deadline for applications to import seafood extended
Business World Philippines
|June 04, 2025
THE Department of Agriculture (DA) said it extended the deadline to apply for permits to bring in imported seafood to the end of June, with few takers among importers because of the tight shipping deadlines.
Only about a quarter of the 25,000 metric tons of seafood approved for import has been landed so far, the DA said in a statement.
The imports were primarily intended for the use of the food service, tourism and hospitality industries.
The DA said the low uptake was due to overly tight import time-lines and sourcing constraints.
