 MANGO Mango is one of the most popular tropical fruits and considered as one of the finest fruit in the world. Mango, the Philippine national fruit is the third most important fruit crop of the country based on export volume and value next to banana and pineapple.  COCONUT The Coconut Tree (Cocos Nucifera L.) is called "The Tree of Life" because of the endless list of products and by-products derived from its various parts. Food, shelter, fuel - name it, the coconut has it. The coconut industry is considered a major dollar earner that provides livelihood to one-third of the country's population.  ABACCA Abaca known worldwide as Manila hemp is the natural fiber for the next millennium. It is indigenous to the Philippines whose favorable climatic condition and volcanic soils are suited to its cultivation. The crop is cultivated in almost all parts of the country.  POULTRY The broiler-producing industry has been one of the most flourishing in the livestock and poultry sector for the past decades. This was strongly indicated during the last five years, 1995-1999, as the industry's output grew by 5.75 percent, in spite of the financial crisis.

The sixty-fifth (65th) FITS Center of CV-CIRRD was launched last May 28, 2009 in Carlos P. Garcia, an island municipality located in the northern part of Bohol Province. Formerly named Pitogo, this municipality has 23 barangays with varied agricultural crops, livestock and marine products as the main source of income. Buffalo production for dairy products is their identified focus commodity. Though this municipality is third among the depressed barangays of Bohol, their very active and charismatic lady mayor, Hon. Tesalonica A. Boyboy, has transformed their municipality into an active economic player, particularly in leading her constituents to get involved in various livelihood activities. With her strong commitment to establish a strong linkage with the farmers within and among the farmers in the entire Techno Gabay network nationwide, through the FITS center, it is hoped that more economic developments will happen in this rich island in the near future. |
