Before the typhoon,the supply of raw materials for tilapia farming was already strained due to high demand and shortages, particularly for larger sizes. Now fishermen have lost a lot of fish due to the typhoon, and the shortage of raw materials will continue.

 

Although recovery work is now underway, due to the damage caused by the typhoon and ongoing environmental challenges, these factors have resulted in lower production and longer delivery times.
