THE Department of Agriculture (DA) has allocated P50 million in livelihood loans to support fisherfolk and fishing industry stakeholders during the three-month closed fishing season in the Zamboanga Peninsula.

The fund will be made available after the stakeholders complete the workshop under the Production Loan Easy Access program and are given identification cards they could use to apply for the loans, according to Agriculture Secretary Emmanuel Piñol.|
