The establishment of Community Fish Landing Centers (CFLCs) is an intervention of the Department of Agriculture's Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (DA-BFAR) under its Targeted Actions to Reduce Poverty and Generate Economic Transformation in the Fishery Sector Program or TARGET. CFLCs are aimed at spurring inclusive growth in coastal areas with high poverty incidence and large population of registered fisherfolk under BFAR's National Program for Municipal Fisherfolk Registration or FishR. It is a commitment of the government to the country's poverty alleviation through construction of said CFLCs and provision of other post-harvest facilities and equipment to reduce post-harvest losses and improve socio-economic conditions of poor fishing communities. Upon full completion, CFLCs are expected to improve local buyers’ and or consumers’ access to safe and quality fish and fishery products. Apart from being the community center of fish trade, the facility is envisioned to be a hub for economic activities, skills training venue, community organizing and info sharing for sustainable and disaster-resilient fisheries-based livelihoods and resource management, and monitoring of fish catch and stocks assessment, among many other uses. A total of 252 CFLCs will be constructed in pre-identified coastal municipalities. Each infrastructure, as reflected under the 2015 GAA, would cost 2.85 Million Pesos. The CFLCs will be operated by the LGU-beneficiaries which shall eventually be turned-over to the local organized fisherfolk community or fisherfolk cooperatives.
