Abstract

Most people think that the Philippine shrimp (black tiger Penaeus monodon) industry is near extinction. Taking a signal from the 1996-organized Department of Agriculture shrimp task force Sagip Sugpo, the name suggests that the shrimp industry had to be rescued. It had to be rescued from the 1990 crash when crops were totally wiped out by disease, specifically in Negros Province. Negros was producing 12,000 tons per annum with an export price of U S$120 million, while the Philippines occupied the number 4 slot in world production. Today, we do not belong to the top five producing countries.
