Philippine exporters in the show were Bluefin Seafood Export Inc., JNMercado Seafood Supply, Anio Farms, Fisher Farm Inc., Jarla Trading, MS Seafood and F.A.B. Sea Resources Corp.

Agriculture Secretary Arthur Yap said the export deals covered tuna, octopus, milkfish and value-added seafood products like fish, ham and sausages, “adobo” and teriyaki milkfish.
