LANDBANK loan availer Joseph Anthony P. Lanzar from Davao del Sur also shared the successful expansion of his aquaculture business through LANDBANK’s support. The Bank is offering the Sustainable Aquaculture Lending Program (SALP) or “Pagsasakang Pantubig” to provide credit assistance to fishers’ associations, cooperatives or federations, non-government organizations (NGOs), micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), large agribusiness enterprises, and countryside financial institutions (CFIs).
