Sylvia Lacambra, Provincial Director of Cagayan, and Ma’am Rona Bautista of DOST Apayao, by showing its various processing equipment and facility which improve the quality of its award-winning products.

Furthermore, the said activity also paved way for the researchers from various regions to discuss on modern food processing techniques and other research innovations— hinting a possible partnership in the future.

“We are grateful to PSU DOST 1 FIC for such a warm welcome. This is indeed a meaningful visit as there are a lot of best practices that we can adopt from you,” said Dr. Garcia of DOST Batanes.
