In August, 2007, the Malunggay Biocommerce in Central Luzon and the entire country was completed to help more farmers and business men who want to profit from malunggay. The center which is located in Tarlac was created to serve as research and development hub for the Commercial Production of Malunggay now a sought-after-crop because of its nutrients and its good quality as a biofuel. By next year, Dr. Irene Adion, Chief of DA Regional Field Unit 3 Agricultural Center, said they will be successful in the commercialization of malunggay seedlings because of its potential for livestock feeds and for food. At first they find it difficult in terms of the commercialization of malunggay seeds, but they also succeeded by directly planted the seeedlins in a pot and created a nursery. The Malunggay Biocommerce Center in Tarlac is just a first for the efforts of malunggay advocates to commercialize malunggay and further expand its marketing potentials. |
