September 3-4, 2015
GENERAL SANTOS CITY – September
1, 2015 – National Tuna Congress Regional Cooperation – The way forward on it
17th years in existence an industry will join the ASEAN Economic
Community and ASEAN Integration in 2015, the 10 member-countries of the
Association (ASEAN) will form a single dubbed as ASEAN Economic Community (or
ASEAN Integration 2015), making it one of the top 10 global regional economies
and a major players in the global seafood market. Fisheries play vital role in
the ASEAN region, covering some of the most productive waters in the world,
contributing to food security and generating millions of income opportunities.
However, fishers in the region face significant challenges due to the depleted
state of many wild fish stocks, lack of accurate statistics on stock status and
poor fisheries management. With the creation of a single market and production
base in 2015, the harmonization of fishing practices and standards is a key
priority.
The SOCSKSARGEN Federation of
Fishing and Allied Industries, Inc. (SAFFAII) join the ASEAN Seafood Federation
(ASF) in 2012 in support of its goals to enhance its commitments towards
regional cooperation. SAFFAII holds the chairmanship of ASF effective this year
(2015) until 2016. The establishment of ASF is an essential foundation that
will further enhance the cooperation between regional countries in preparation
for the ASEAN Economic Community or ASEAN Integration 2015, contributing to a
large goal to integrate the region’s national economies and achieve higher
levels of economic dynamism and competitiveness.
Hence, on this 17th
National Tuna Congress (NTC) our theme is “Regional Cooperation: The Way
Forward.” Tuna industry experts will shed light on the opportunities, issues
and challenges present in the fishing industry in reference to ASEAN
Integration 2015.
Our focus in this year’s NTC is
to continue to support, collaborate and participate in all other endeavors
aimed in attaining cooperation among regional fishers, seafood processors and
exporters. Our goals are to openly exchange views among our regional partners
on matters mutual interest, and to enhance our access to better technology,
food safety assurance, supply sustainability, greater market opportunities, and
environment and social responsibility.
