 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.

This year’s Anniversary celebration focused on techno mart display of best products produced by the Magsasaka Siyentistas from the various FITS centers in the region. This is to promote their champion products during the celebration, so that market matching can be done at least in the regional level. Some businessmen were invited during the exhibit. Likewise, harvest festival of the organically grown vegetables in the NORSU Pamplona farm was also one of the highlights of the day’s activity where important guests were requested to lead in the harvest. Technologies used by the farmer scientists in the production of their champion products were shared during the techno forum conducted later in the afternoon. |
