On the assessment of the researchers, the bargaining power of suppliers of the inputs especially
the roundscad is low because suppliers could not set the price higher than the price set in the
market?(WHY). There are a significant number of suppliers relative to buyers, having 21 suppliers
operating nationally like First Catch Enterprise and Guzent Inc. of Quezon city, Usiship Philippines
of Davao city, Malalag Bay Aquaculture of Davao Del Sur, Amor Nino International Trading of
Tarlac city, Alphine Fishing Enterprise Inc., Rell & Renn Seafood Sphere Inc and Mommy Gina
Tuna Resources (MGTR), Inc. of General Santos city, and Arko Foods Phils Inc. of Valenzuela
city and others.

There are also 12 fish pier and 15 fish markets located here in the Pangasinan such as Sual Fish
Port Restaurant, Port of Sual, Poblacion Fish Port, and Carot Fish Port which are located in Sual,
Bolinao Fish Port and Guiguiwanen Fishing Port located in Bolinao, Macaleeng Fish Port and
