As a result of the thriving oyster production in San Juan Batangas, the Samahan ng Magtatalaba ng San Juan, Batangas became the beneficiary of the project that established a technology demonstration site for oyster production.
The said project is under the province-led Agriculture and Fisheries Extension System (PAFES), where the Provincial Government of Batangas, through the Office of the Provincial Agriculturist, seeks to establish programs and projects that will help maintain the supply of water or fishery commodities in the province.
One of these projects is boosting oyster production through the hanging-in-raft method. Currently, the techno demo site has a capacity of 11,000 hanging clutches.
