Philippines Best hopes to purchase the operating facilities after the two-year lease has expired.
President of the company, Rodrigo Rivera Jr, commented that the firm is eager to show that it has the quality standards and capability to compete internationally. The operation is indeed expected to develop into one with major earnings.
The Rivera group already controls several interests in the fishing industry, including a prawn export processing plant and fish canning operations in countries other than The Philippines.
