Milkfish Nursery and Transport Techniques Project

Milkfish / By

The Philippine milkfish industry had expanded from traditional extensive culture in brackishwater ponds to semi-intensive and intensive culture systems including off-shore pens and net cages. These had resulted to the establishment of more private and government-owned milkfish hatcheries operating in the country. Despite the documented success of milkfish hatchery, there is still an existing shortage …

Assessment of the Growth and Yield Performance of Rubber Planted in Non-Traditional Areas of the Philippines

Rubber / By

Rubber production in the Philippines is intensively cultivated in Mindanao as its traditional area because of its favorable agro-climate. Owing to its lucrative value, some farmers invested in planting rubber across Luzon and Visayas or NTAs (locations where a commodity is not commonly grown and developed) regardless of the site-species compatibility. Gearing up towards increasing …

GIS-Based Inventory and Sustainability Assessment for Rubber and Cacao

Cacao / By

Identification of potential expansion areas for rubber is essential to increase local production and improve their quality while taking advantage of the market demand. A database on existing plantations of nine provinces in the Philippines identified as major production areas of rubber and cacao was developed. Using geographic information (GIS), remote sensing (RS) and other …

Automated Combined Mechanical Demucilager-Fermenter-Dryer

Cacao / By

To further reduce the amount of hard work and operating time-cost of mucilage extracting, fermentation, and drying, one alternative solution is to combine the three operations handled by the proposed machine/equipment/facility. The project aims to design, develop and optimize the operating conditions of the automated combined mechanical demucilager-fermenter-dryer for cacao. This proposed machine continually processes …
