QP production is mainly concentrated in Regions 5 (Bicol) and 8 (Eastern Visayas), which accounts to about 5% of the national pineapple production. This program was able to address some of the pressing problems of the industry. The most significant of which is the mass production of pineapple planting material through somatic embryogenesis as an …
