The Commodity System Analysis (CSA) of Milkfish or Bangus  has been presented by Chansa group  from the University of the Philippines Los Baños who took ABME 103 (Agribusiness Systems and Modalities).  

It was found that the milkfish (Chanos chanos) industry in the Philippines is market-driven. Together with Indonesia, the two countries are the world’s largest producers responsible for more than 95% of the production globally. The analysis on milkfish commodity was able to deduce that milkfish is the top fish species valued in the Philippines. Data shows that about 36.4% of the food fish supply of the country’s top valued species in aquaculture is milkfish. It is also highly evident as it is a well-known staple food under the fish industry. Several institutions like SEAFDEC-AQD are helping the development and expansion of milkfish farming.
