The DA-BAFS, through its Standards Development Division (SDD), held a Sectoral Meeting on Philippine National Standards (PNS) for fisheries on April 22, 2026, at the DA-BAFS Building in Visayas Avenue, Quezon City.
The activity brought together government partner agencies that play a key role in PNS development and are typically engaged as members of the Technical Working Groups (TWG). During the meeting, participants reviewed and discussed the proposed Programs, Activities, and Projects (PAPs) for CY 2026–2028.
The meeting was attended by representatives from the various national government agencies, including DA-Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR), DA-National Fisheries Research and Development Institute (NFRDI), DA-Bureau of Animal Industry (BAI), DA-Philippine Council for Agriculture and Fisheries (PCAF), Department of Science and Technology (DOST)-Industrial Technology Development Institute (ITDI), and DOST-Philippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic and Natural Resources Research and Development (PCAARRD).
Participants provided key recommendations to enhance the relevance and responsiveness of fisheries standards, while strengthening coordination among agencies.
DA-BAFS expresses its gratitude to all participants for their continued support.
