The Bataan Peninsula State University (BPSU) project team went on a two-day visit to cashew product processors in Bagac and Morong and held consultations with growers.
The BPSU project, “Enhancement of Intellectual Property and Technology Business Management in BPSU through the Regional Agri-Aqua Innovation System Enhancement (RAISE) Program” is funded by the Philippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic and Natural Resources Research and Development (PCAARRD).
The 2-year project aims to enhance intellectual property protection and management in cashew technology. The project team first visited cashew processors in Bagac in May.
The BPSU team held consultations to learn the technologies use by local cashew processors and started identifying commercialized innovations that local cashew processors can adopt to be more productive.
The project team is also analyzing the development gaps based on the data they gathered at the same time will explore future possible collaborations with local cashew stakeholders.
