Bicol solon eyes state subsidy for domestic salt industry

Camarines Norte Rep. Luis Raymund Villafuerte said salt farmers and producers will soon gain easy access to the badly needed help to enable them to resuscitate the declining salt industry.

Villafuerte aired his observations as the Senate passed on third and final reading Senate Bill 2243 meant to revive the salt industry. The House of Representatives earlier ratified its own version of the measure, establishing the Philippine Salt Industry Development Council , which would craft and implement a roadmap to speed up the modernization of the Philippine salt industry.

The Senate unanimously passed the proposed law which aims to make the domestic salt industry competitive anew in the international markets, and help create more jobs in the agriculture and agribusiness sector. Following the measure’s approval in both chambers, Villafuerte said the next step for lawmakers is to hammer out in the bicameral conference committee a consolidated bill, which, upon ratification by both the Senate and the House, shall be submitted to Malacañan Palace for President Marcos’s approval and enactment into law.
