"The Philippine Council for Agriculture and Resources Research and Development (PCARRD) and the International Center for Living Aquatic Resources Management (ICLARM) co-sponsored a workshop, 10-13 August 1983, on Philippine Tilapia Economics. The workshop brought together Philippine researchers who, with partial financial support from PCARRD and ICLARM during 1982-1983, had conducted an economic analysis of tilapia operations. This volume contains the proceedings of the workshop; which include 18 papers presented, working group reports, discussions and recommendations of the workshop.
The workshop was held at the Continuing Education Center on the campus of the University of the Philippines, Los Baños. Opening remarks for the workshop were given by Dr. Ramon V. Valmayor, Executive Director of PCARRD.
On behalf of PCARRD and ICLARM we would like to express our thanks to all of those individuals who contributed to the success of the workshop. These include not only the researchers and other participants, but also those who assisted behind the scene with workshop logistics, rapporteur notes and other administrative matters. As a group we are especially thankful to all of those private tilapia farmers, government officials and middlewomen who so kindly provided much of the information upon which most of the research papers were based. We would also like to acknowledge with thanks the financial support of Planters Products, Inc. and San Miguel Corporation towards publication costs of these proceedings.
It is our hope that this work shop proceedings will contribute to an understanding of the Philippine tilapia industry so that its current growth and economic vitality can be maintained and nurtured to the ultimate benefit of producers and consumers alike."
